Zion I – The Rapture: Live From Oaklandia [Album Stream]

Recorded live at The Catalyst Club in Santa Cruz, CA on October 4, 2014. “The tunes on this album are some of my favorites, both rare and classic gems from the Zion I catalog. I wanted to touch on some of the more sensitive elements of the music, as I have always viewed that as a strength in today’s current climate driven by sensationalism and hype. For me, music has always been a spiritual process. It helps me deal with my issues, and gives me a proper lens by which to view the world around me. Music is both an escape and a healing salve that I apply to my heart, mind and spirit. I hope you enjoy this offering and feel the fullness of the vibes.” The Rapture Band is a unique formation of Bay Area luminaries that blessed the stage together on this auspicious evening for one night of magical vibrations, captured here in its fullness: Bandleader/Keys: Kev Choice Drums: Dame Taylor Bass: Scott Thompson Guitar: Andrew Levin Cello: Rebecca Roudman Trumpet: Rafa Postel Vocals: Codany Holiday Vocals: Viveca Hawkins MC: Deuce Eclipse MC: Dustin Sharpe Engineer: Deegan McAdams Engineer: Eugene Smith
