Zach Fleury doesn’t sound like anyone else, but he’s played with almost everyone.
The island musician’s work includes collaborations with Noah Gundersen, Hot Bodies in Motion, Allen Stone, Macklemore and even some film scoring for Lionsgate Films, and has drawn critical comparison between the young troubadour and the likes of Jack Johnson and Van Morrison.
Fleury tends to fly beneath the radar, but, if you’re tuned in properly, his signal will get you where you want to go. He will play a special concert event at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7 at the Treehouse Café, joined by Indianola tunesmith Lydia Ramsey.
Whether he’s vamping to his own songs and their unique perspective on modern life and love or rendering his version of classics like “Crazy Love” by Morrison, Fleury’s unorthodox vocal soaring, held down by his deadly bassist’s sense of rhythm, combine to form a rare sound combo.
A multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Ramsey collects ancient music making devices, and her songs feature those instruments in unique arrangements, all the while backing up her unmistakable voice. Her tracks convey both the wildness and free nature of the great Northwest and are steeped in the fingerpicking rudiments of music.
Ramsey was raised in a house scattered with instruments, from guitars and mandolins to clarinets and accordions. With an upbringing rooted deeply in musical discovery and invention, her earliest inspirations came from her exploration on the piano, through the music of Chopin, Bill Evans, Debussy and Bach.
When she began playing guitar, she drew inspiration from traditional folk artists.
Tickets for the Lynwood performance are on sale; the cost is $15 per person.
This show is for those 21-and-over only.
