ZITO

With all the pieces in place, the time is right for Mike Zito to break through as a major voice on

the contemporary music scene. His debut release on Eclecto Groove, “Today”, is currently being

readied for release. Produced by the ‘dream team’ of David Z (Prince, Big Head Todd, Etta

James), Tony Braunagel (Taj Mahal, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Burden), and Randy Chortkoff, “Today”

showcases Zito’s music in a distinctly contemporary setting, without any gimmicks or artifice.

The producers perfectly captured the earthy essence and intimacy of Zito’s voice, and the driving

intensity of his music, creating a recording that sounds simultaneously comfortable and familiar,

and brand new and original. Zito’s original material has never been stronger; songs like “Today”,

“Holding Out For Love” and “Superman” would mesh perfectly with the playlists at any Hot AC or

Triple A format radio station, while the strutting “No Big City” and “Hollywood” won’t disappoint

long-time fans from his hard-rocking days. And Zito’s sensitive, acoustic cover of the Prince

classic “Little Red Corvette” will have listeners who are familiar with the song hearing it in a

whole new light.

Zito is that rare new artist who completely in synch with the contemporary music scene, while at

the same time having a lifetime’s worth of experience to draw from that informs his music with

soul, depth, and lasting appeal that grows with repeated listening. And thanks to his alliance with

Eclecto Groove, it looks like “Today” is the day for Mike Zito.
