It’s that spooky time of year again when BILL CAMPLIN and the Spectercles take over the Carpe stage.

ZACH PIETRINI dares to step into this, opening for the band.

Starting in 2006, Zach’s music career has spanned 9 years, 4 albums, 3 states, multiple band members, countless stages, hopes, and heartache.
His first effort, The Broken Season Turning, released in 2007 emerged as a concept album tracing the path of a broken family and their attempts at redemption.
In early 2009 The Bright and Shining Lights of Anywhere Else was released finding much of its musical inspiration from Ryan Adams and The Snake The Cross The Crown. Many of these songs were written during a time of depression for Pietrini and were his way of working through the pain.
2010. Zach elected to move on from Chicago and came to Milwaukee where he found renewed energy and inspiration. Seizing every opportunity, he quickly was recognized as a force in SE Wisconsin, winning several songwriter awards, battle of the bands, and a nomination for Best Band in Milwaukee in 2014.
Zach charges on with the newest release, Aug 2015, Highways and Heartache. Their sound consistently evolves, but doesn’t stray from its brutally honest, impassioned americana roots. Critics describe his songs as “haunting,” “honest” and “instantly familiar.” Zach continues to write, tour, and record salt-of-the-earth-flavored americana, and was recently featured on NoiseTrade’s New and Notable. He is, as ever, driven by their desire to connect with people through the simple beauty of story and song.
