What is love?



I feel as if I am seeing the road, the cars, the tree's, the sky, and you incredible souls in a whole new light. The slightest sound has the ability to trigger a connection in all of us. We all bob our heads at similar times, sing along, and raise lighters. In a more loving light, firetrucks rush to the scene of fires to spray water and save people. Ambulances rush to the scene of victims who are hurt. We are all helping one another out. We go one another's rescue, we help out those who we love, raise money for charity, give food to those who are hungry. My eyes are constantly wide openly fascinated in awe by this life.

What is love?

I used to think I knew what love was until I kept falling into it. By this young age of 22, I feel as if I keep falling in love. I keep falling for sounds, people, plants, animals, and tree's...

These just a few people who I've fallen in love with and I finally understand that i will keep falling in love over and over again. Age means getting wiser and at 22, I can't friggen wait to be 30 or 40 or 50.

What is love? Love is helping, love is lifting up someone when they've fallen, love is telling someone they look nice, love is cooking dinner for someone you care about, love is giving to someone when they least expect it, love is calling someone and telling them how much you care about (i think i'm gonna do that right now). Fall in love with yourself, and the rest is easy.

The Coffee Factory

Comedy is something I am trying to get better at incorporating into my acts. I've never had the best since of humor, but the more love infused my job becomes, the easier it is to get a good laugh out of the crowd. The funny thing about yesterday was I ran into an old friend riding his motorcycle and after the casual quick conversation about what one another have been up too, he told me he has started his own dildo company online. The good people at Olympus Pizza got a kick out of that.

Thank you to DJ Jay and Olympus Pizza for allowing me to go into your bar and shake my tail. We got some footage for the documentary and I played 2 sets, with David Kwan on the djembe for the second set. David Kwan will be bringing his keys over to the farm soon so we can lay down some sweet sounds of Waiting on the Tide To Change.

Zach Stevens did not make it to the Coffee Factory or Olympus Pizza. Getting signed by a record label is very new to him as it is to me and it's going to take some time to understand this business and how to be the person I have put on Earth to be. This could be a life changing journey for Zach and I think he's taking some time off, contemplating if this is something he really wants to do. The fans were missing him last night at Olympus Pizza. So, Zach, if your reading this, there will be many offers coming your way in which you will get paid. Zach's been on the journey with me since 2009 back at Keene State College and now that the momentum under our music is picking up, I hope he stays committed. I am also learning how to hire other drummers, keyboardists, bass players, etc. It's a business that I'm honored to be a part of, because it's a business of love.

The Coffee Factory is a great place for local artists to spread there music. It is where I became found by my managers Tim and Paula. Two of the greatest people you could ever meet Peter McHugh and Rhiannon Trajlinek run it. I've been going there for probably over 2 years. Rhiannon does the incredible job of hosting it with confidence and gratitude. They are a part of Do Something Different, an organization in which hey help other artists with web-sites and other great tools. They have worked with Tristan Omand, producer of my first two EP's titled A Deeper Connection and All For You.


Tristan is currently on his Roar Across The Earth Tour and I wish him the best of luck and hope he finds fans and opportunity's along the way. Tristan has been in Manchesters newspaper, The Hippo as Best Local Artist and has a Bob Dylan sound to him. His latest album is titled Tolled Stories and is available on I-Tunes.

Dream happy dreams. Think positive thoughts. And anything you want can be yours. I love you. You reading this. I love your eyes, nose, hair, ears, and that little ring you have on your eye. Sleep Well.

Jackson Records


Is this really my life? I signed with Jackson Records last week and ever since, I've been pinching myself daily. Why have I been so blessed and others remain homeless? This does not seem fair to me and I eagerly await the day when I can raise money for those with life threatening diseases, natural disasters, the homeless, the elderly, and all the other problems that remain. I will be of help and assistance to you, I promise. Hang in there and wait. I am coming to your rescue. This talent that God has given me will not be used in an ungrateful manner. I think I say the words grateful and thank you at least 15 times a day. My mind is constantly running on one of 3 things. Music, thank you's, or the popular phrase I love you. My mind is a sponge absorbing this energy and love and constantly figuring out ways to give back. I am in awe by the transformation that is underway.


After quitting smoking in February I started up again a week ago but decided last night I can't do that anymore. I will just suck on the lolly pops giving to me by one of the best woman I've ever met, Paula Woodworth. Singer / Songwriter, Merideth Padfield was telling me about the effects smoking has on the vocal chords last night. She was mentioning how smoking shrinks and dehydrates the vocal chords. Merideth, is a young and upcoming artist. She has the ability to blow your ears to the back of your head and make you cry out lovingly. I watched her play in the rain at Veterans Park on the day of the Walk For Hunger. Right next to the Mayor, Merideth kept her vocals strong and confidence stronger as she powered through her set in the pouring rain in a fearless way that made me think twice about Taylor Swift. I would be honored to work with Merideth in the future and want to put together a show with her somehow. She's a powerhouse and I'm in love.

If you haven't check out my music video for Heaven or Hell yet, then click it and watch. Chris Geudroult recorded it and will be at Olympus Pizza tonight filming more for the documentary. We've gotten some shots at Hampton and Pine Island park that will be in the upcoming documentary and music video for my single This Moment.

So whats in store for you?

-My new album titled Waiting on the Tide to Change
-A documentary on Waiting on the Tide to Change
-A music video for This Moment

Thank you to anyone who read this is and stay tuned. I love you all.

Sincerely,
Zach Robinson
