The Zach Fest: A concert celebrating the loving spirit and memory of Zach Davis-Price. For this inaugural Zach Fest we will build a performance lineup comprised of those who had shared the stage with Zach over the last 15 years of his life.
Music performances by:
- Garrick Davis World Blues - electric
- Skip The Needle - Passionate powerhouse all-female band based in Oakland
- Rebels (Revisited )- Zach was working and writing with these musicians at the time of his passing
- Garrick Davis World Blues - acoustic
The Doors open at 6:00pm. The first music performance starts promptly at 7:00pm. Between music sets we have guest speakers Daryl Pearson, James Saberi, some words of acknowledgment from me(Garrick) followed by a beautiful video presentation commemorating Zach, created by Ed Barber.
We will also be acknowledging other lives lost in the period of the COVID lockdown and isolation of 2020-2021.
Tickets are $25. This is an all ages and general admission event. We are accepting sponsorships for a possible webcast. We'll keep you updated on this for people who would like to support this inaugural event but live outside of or even within the Greater Bay Area. We will also have an ONLINE RAFFLE to win one of two electric guitars and an event poster signed by the performing musicians.
We lost Zachary Ernest Davis-Price December 28, 2020 at age 28. He was a friend and comforting presence to many. He grew up in Redwood City, going to Hawes, Orion, North Star Academy and Woodside High schools. He later attended Canada College and Foothill College. Zach also worked locally including on "Theater Way" at Century 20, La Tartine. Zach had recently completed his first year of nursing school at the University of San Francisco with a G.P.A. of 3.98. It was a career direction he had hoped would allow him to make a difference in people's lives as well as suiting his capacity for compassion and empathy toward others - a trait the many who knew him will miss.
Zach loved going to concerts and music festivals for the community experience as much as for the music. He found his own musical voice with the piano and cultivated his own physical voice into an incredible expressive instrument and became a force onstage with “both instruments”.
Zach's birthday falls on April 7. Luckily there was an opening in the newly renovated Fox Theatre's calendar for April 2, 2022. This event will also celebrate his 30th birthday! Along with music there will be a short film donated by “Visual Street Media” with a look back on this remarkable young man’s life and example of kindness, compassion and empathy.
It is an informed guess that Zach would approve of this concert event. In fact it is in his spirit that this idea was birthed! So let's do it, but most importantly, together! The Zach Fest will hopefully become an annual concert event with proceeds beyond expenses to create and establish of "Zach's Cares.
This concert is being presented by Laughing Blues Entertainment LLC and Zach’s Cares, what will soon be a non-profit organization seeking to serve the Redwood City area advocating music education, nutrition and health education. We will look to lend support to the Recovery Community of which Zach was a passionate and beloved member.
Tickets are available through “GDWorldBlues.com > Zach Fest or at The Box Office next door to the Fox Theatre. Admission is $25
