Acoustic harmony group Vento, Ziggy, Hawk & McCarthy (VZHM) are thrilled to announce the release of their inspiring new single, “Here Comes Tomorrow”, written by acclaimed Pittsburgh singer-songwriter Thomas Balistreri. This heartfelt track is set for single release on December 6, 2023, and it also serves as the opening track on the group’s debut album, “Four Ever.”
Recorded and mixed at Maplewood Studio in Ambridge, PA, with David Granati, and mastered by Brian Foraker in Nashville, TN, “Here Comes Tomorrow” captures the group’s signature blend of lush harmonies, acoustic instrumentation, and poignant storytelling.
This collaboration began when Thomas Balistreri, who had been following John Vento’s work for years, sent him a heartfelt message expressing how Vento’s music had inspired him to write a song reminiscent of their sound. Recognizing the unique magic in Balistreri’s creation, John felt it was a perfect fit for Cherylann Hawk’s dynamic voice. The band brought the track to life in a collaborative process that highlighted each member’s talent:
Cherylann Hawk delivered powerful lead vocals and percussion.
Bob Zigerelli contributed intricate guitar lines and vocals.
Kevin McCarthy added evocative guitar melodies and vocals.
John Vento rounded out the harmony-rich arrangement with his distinctive voice.
