Zach Fontanez and his family run a coffee shop and sober bar in Meriden that holds events ranging from a silent book club to hardcore shows. He's also been in and continues to be in a bunch of bands. We thought all that was a great reason to get him on the podcast to talk primarily about Grace's Place which fills a void in the lack of all-ages venues in the area. We told Matt from Killer Kin that Zach was going to be on and wrote this up about him: Zach Fontanez is one of the most prolific, energy-filled, altruistic rockers to ever grace the Connecticut music scene. With a taste...

We’ll discuss upcoming releases and what is in our personal rotation at the moment. We’ll talk about upcoming area musical activities. We’ll talk to guests who have to do with all of the above. And we’ll talk about specific dealings with the store. If you have input you’re welcome to contact us through email (redscroll@gmail.com).
