After a year of traveling and playing shows in the UK this past September, local singer-songwriter Zara is back with a slew of brand new tracks and reworked older songs, and a new band of friends to help her jam ‘em out.  We’ll get a peek at everything they’ve been working on when Zara joins Vermont’s the Flood for a Thursday June 3rd show at Trois Minots. 

Montreal’s Withwords Press recently confirmed that Zara will be on their roster of artists published this coming fall/winter. She’ll be putting out a limited-press, handmade book of poetry along with a new album. The two will be available together and the album will also be available online through www.myspace.com/zarazara.

She’s also been brushing up on her Bangla in preparation for a prospective thesis involving Bangladeshi poetry by women, eventually hoping to use her new-found language skills to sing in Bangla.

Those unable to catch this Thursday’s Mtl show need not worry: Zara will be coming soon to a venue near you. She plans to tour Eastern Canada this fall and Western Canada this winter in support of the new album. (To anyone with booking hookups: let her know!)
