Zav RT's New CD fundraising campaign: It Takes A Community to Make The Music!
I am trying to create my newest work of audio art, and I need to raise $20,000 to do it! I have written a CD's worth of great new music, and you can help me record it this spring by
(1) pre-buying your personally signed copy which will be shipped to you in the Fall of '09 for a minimum $25 donation, or
(2) making a donation of any amount. People who donate $100 or more will also get their name printed in the THANKYOU's on the CD; People who donate $500 or more will get an autographed CD, a thankyou in print, and a tune dedicated to them on the album. All will receive my eternal gratitude.
We can do this-- It will take 400 people to pre-buy CD's @ $25, 50 people to donate $100, and 10 people to donate $500. Thankyou. Sincerely, Zav RT

Spark
2006 Dog My Cat Records
Spark showcases Zav RT’s new instrument – the 5-string viola that she has lovingly penned the “fiddola” – a new musical partner in guitarist Andy Hillhouse and her dedication to exploring a variety of musical styles. Ten original compositions and two well-chosen cover tunes that feature Andy on vocals are spiced with flavours from the folk, celtic and world music genres. A jig is layered with a funk groove, traditional fiddle tunes carry elements of jazz and an instrumental duet with slide guitarist Harry Manx touches on Eastern blues elements. Zav RT is creating fresh, vibrant West Coast fiddle music based on an age-old tradition, establishing a new modern branch on the folk tree. An auditory “fiddola” feast!

REACH
2004 Dog My
Cat Records
Reach is a rich combination of sounds, a
merging of the classical with a folk soul that takes listeners on a
journey of melodic pathways. Imaginative, joyous, and rich with stylistic
mergings, this album establishes Zav RT as an innovative artist willing
to bring fiddle music to new palates.
A contemporary folk album, Reach blends new and old music, celtic and
Jazz, classic and Acadian to create a uniquely west-coast inspired
world approach to the fiddle. Woven with the support of mandolin, guitar,
accordion, bass, cello and tabla, Zav’s violin and viola take
us on a journey that keeps us wanting more. Reach brings a stellar
line-up of some of the best talent in folk music today such as the
prodigious, cutting-edge fiddle composer Oliver Schroer on violin,
Canada’s top mandolin player John Reischman along with Juno-nominated
musicians Glen Manders and Andrian Dolan of The Bills.
Reach is a fresh new canvas that has allowed Zav RT to create a picture of fiddle music that is both new and familiar, a sound that is “out-of-the-box” and ultimately captivating.
