DAVID ZINK, PopZinkle (Papa’s Moon): 
(3 stars out of 5)

Former Alltadenan Zink, now relocated to
Northern California, returns with this
impassioned folk-rock salvo that takes cleverly
worded aim at political targets and societal
intolerance while celebrating love and nature.
Romantic ballads like “Bird” benefit from his
dramatic tenor and rhythmic guitar, but
highlights occur when compassion meets
his drive for justice: “Mary,” the bluesy “Feel
a Train” and title track (“There’s a balance to
the world/ It tips this way and that/ And there’s
a war ’tween those who want it round/ And
those who want it flat”).

Concert Reviews
Zink has been described as "…a songwriter
with a keen sense for making songs work…
slightly off-kilter, original, eccentric and wildly appealing...experimental…"
—Independent Songwriter Web Magazine

Accompanying himself on acoustic guitar,
mandolin and harmonica, "... he engages
audiences with the untethered power of his
voice, agile spirit and total artistic commitment.
And when he's really riding the inspiration
wave, there's a burning soulfulness about his
music that's utterly compelling."
—Pasadena Weekly

“David Zink, alone on stage…is as powerful
as a rock band.”
—Skipper Wise, President/Founder - Blue Microphones
