Recording artist Patti Zlaket has been performing for the better part of 35 years. A pianist since she was seven and a songwriter since she was a teenager, Zlaket signed to Meridian (ECR Music Group) specifically for this series deluxe-edition reissues, and for her new album now in production. “The coalescing of my career with these reissues is incredibly meaningful to me,” says Zlaket. “Not only do they set the stage for my new record, they bring together—in one place—the story and the music that’s brought me to this exciting moment.”
After growing up in Tucson, Arizona, Zlaket graduated from USC with a BA in Theatre. She recorded her first album in Los Angeles and later moved to Nashville before returning to Southern California. Zlaket would go on to tour the United States and the U.K., establish herself as a premiere commercial jingle singer, release a storied catalog—and graduate from law school. The UK’s Lock Magazine writes, “While fans of her work to date will no doubt look upon these new renditions with fond appreciation, Zlaket is also bringing something new and interesting to her catalogue, allowing those just discovering her work to find something passionate in which to explore.”
With a new label behind her, a new record in production, and the remastered deluxe-edition releases of her albums The Promise, Bliss, and Tunes [Deluxe Edition] out now, Zlaket’s moment is indeed at hand. “For all I’ve done and all the miles traveled,” says Zlaket, “I feel I have a real ‘team’ for the first time now, one that understands who I am, and the journey I’ve been on from the very beginning.”

Before you hear Tom Rhodes’s voice, you feel it - like a left jab to the jaw. Raspy and soulful, like Ray LaMontagne or a young Van Morrison, but with a soaring intensity that recalls Jackson Browne. Your eyes adjust. You regain your bearings. A familiar feeling washes over you: Have I heard this before? Then, a split-second later, comes the power-punch: the words - direct, poetic, timeless, true.
Like a good boxer, Tom Rhodes mastered this one-two technique through years of training. The Oakland, California-based songwriter has spent more than a decade honing his honest, heartfelt brand of Americana, and learning to craft songs whose truth matches his passion as a performer. In that time, he has performed all over the US and Europe, released five albums, 2 EPs, numerous singles, and even appeared on season 9 of The Voice. Rhodes’ songs continue to be featured in movies, TV shows on all of the major networks, commercials, and more as more and more people hear about his message and style.
“I realized that you can do more with music than talk about yourself. You can do more with music than express a feeling. You can express a piece of information with feeling and get the same emotional response, but you’re actually doing something to spread good ideas and help people out there.”
As Rhodes puts it, “To me, singing songs is about passionately connecting with the thing I’m talking about, and if you’re singing about something that you actually believe in it’s really easy to get there.” One listen and you’ll understand.
