Sun Dried Vibes<\/strong> <\/a>recently released \u201cStay Hopeful\u201d around Labor Day weekend, and this album goes to show that summer isn\u2019t over just yet!<\/h4>\n

Their lead singer and guitarist, Zach Fowler<\/a><\/strong> took some time to talk about the album as the band celebrated their release at the Surrounded by the Sound Music and Arts Festival at beautiful Longcreek, South Carolina.<\/p>\n

Omayra Lopez [AltWire]: What was the writing process like for this album, are there any tracks that are particularly meaningful?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zach Fowler [Sun Dried Vibes]:<\/strong> The writing process for me is always different. I don\u2019t like to keep my process limited to any one style, so I keep it open in order to keep the songs fresh every time. There were a lot of collaborations on this album, so it was a great pleasure to work alongside a lot of my closest musical friends. It was incredibly cool to have Eric Rachmany<\/strong> of Rebelution<\/strong>, a major influence on me personally, want to be a part of the song \u201cSmoke Session.\u201d<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t write the song and then solicit him to be on it. Rather, we were hanging out at his house in San Francisco a couple years ago, jamming in his backyard when he asked me to show him some stuff I was working on. I played him the song and he was really into it. He said then and there that he wanted to be a part of the track when we started recording it, so for me that was a pretty major milestone in my musical career.<\/p>\n

Omayra Lopez [AltWire]: How did this year\u2019s Surrounded by the Sound Festival compare to previous ones for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zach Fowler [Sun Dried Vibes]:<\/strong> This years\u2019 SBTS was extra special because the festival was sort of like our Album Release Party for Stay Hopeful<\/em>. We spent so much time on this record and it was an incredible feeling to see it debut at #1 on iTunes the first day of the festival. I couldn\u2019t think of a better place to drop an album that has meant so much to me.<\/p>\n

We also debuted our new line-up at SBTS this year, as we lost our founding bass player, Evan Tyler, but added three new members, making us a five piece band \u2013 Tyler Vickery<\/strong> on vocals and guitar, Cliff Bundick<\/strong> on bass and Kody Farris<\/strong> on auxiliary percussion. These three guys are a major addition to the SDV line up and I think people are going to be even more impressed with our live sound now with these guys in the band.<\/p>\n

\n

Personally, my favorite track so far has been \u201cHopeful\u201d. It\u2019s that perfect song to help you rise above any tough situation and an awesome reminder that tough times don\u2019t last forever.<\/p>\n

“Smoke Sessions” is another great gem, which features TreeHouse<\/strong> as well as reggae stars and the mentioned, Grammy nominees, Rebelution<\/strong>! This track is pretty self explanatory in that one of the most therapeutic things one can do is introspect over a smoke session.<\/p>\n

Overall this is a great album to celebrate the end of summer. Currently on tour, catch their vibes at a city near you!<\/p>\n
