His roots in Jazz and R&B shine through in his song interpretations, offering audiences more than just a conventional bass line. With over 40 years of experience, Ray has flourished as a Spokane musician, playing in numerous bands across a diverse range of styles. Whatever the genre, Ray is ready to bring it to life.

"Music is like a first language that connects people. Our music has a message that we want to convey; a message of positivity. That's why we do what we do." 

The Jason Perry Band is a party. They mix all the dancin’ vibes together with a heaping helping of uncut funk. Howling saxophone and tasty guitar lines ride atop greasy grooves. Perry’s vocals are a soulful revelation. Expect to hear funkified renditions of familiar tunes and a sweet handful of the group’s favorite lesser known gems.

BEN TRUE AND SOUNDTRACK TRIVIA

For the second set, Ben will lead a game of Soundtrack Trivia; anyone who wants to can play! He’ll play a selection from a movie soundtrack, and players will guess the answer, be it the name of the film, or the composer. Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place winners!

Cris Lucas will be your leader for your musical experiences at ZOLA on these Thursdays but it will not always just be him.

ZOLA may not be the only place for live music on any given Tuesday but sure are the only ones where you can get your fix every Tuesday in Spokane.

Monday’s just got a lot more interesting and exciting for ZOLA. We are partnering our home cooked pop up menus from Feast World Kitchen graduates with musicians showcasing their original work.

The music will be dynamic and the chef’s rotate every 6-7 weeks.

Sydney Dale, an emerging sensation in the music world, possesses a talent that sets her apart. With a voice that's nothing short of mesmerizing, she's creating waves that resonate far and wide. While she calls the Pacific Northwest home today, her journey has taken her from the rugged landscapes of Alaska to the soulful vibes of Southern Georgia.

Sydney's story reads like a modern fairytale. Her journey in music began at a tender age when she started crafting songs at just 9 years old. Remarkably, she unveiled her first single to the world at the young age of 14. Her voice is not just bright and powerful; it's an instrument of emotion. Each note carries a story, every word a chapter of her life. 

As a songwriter, Sydney transcends the conventional pop scene. Her songs, wrapped in edgy pop sounds, explore themes that resonate with listeners on a profound level. Whether she's delving into the intricacies of heartbreak or celebrating the sheer joy of life, her lyrics are poetic and authentic, setting her apart as an artist with depth and authenticity.

Sydney's musical prowess extends beyond her vocals. She masterfully plays the guitar, ukulele, and piano, using these instruments to infuse her songs with an authenticity that's both raw and real. Her music effortlessly blends pop with hints of jazz, R&B, and folk, creating a unique and enchanting mix that leaves audiences wanting more.

Jacob Rountree is an alternative/indie songwriter living in the stunning alpine of Montana.  Contemplative yet playful, his lyric forward style is reflective of his love for philosophy, poetry and quantum physics. 

“His performance can be described as warm and comforting, almost like a welcoming hug from a family member.” - Gifted Balance Records

Jacobs contagious soul presents itself through raw vocals of impressive range and beautiful timbre, mesmerizing percussive finger-style guitar and a balance of catchy yet complex, polyrhythms. Rountree’s unique production style is that of Bob Dylan meets Pink Floyd, ranking the integrity of his music with contemporary artists such as Bon Iver, Ben Howard, and Shakey Graves

In 2022, Rountree released his second full length album, AS I SEE IT which was nominated top local albums,  top 10 indie albums of TJPLNews and received copious write ups and reviews from around the world. 

“Jacob Rountree presents us with a deep enigmatic work that transports us to another world. Rountree’s deep philosophical lyrics are poetry filled with deep introspection. They could be released as a separate booklet in their own right.” - Sinusoidal Music
