An up-and-coming Tucson rock band is ready to celebrate the next big milestone in their young career.
The three members of Znora will host family, friends and new fans at their party at Hotel Congress Plaza Sunday. Once they play their set-list of new songs on their first record, all three will try to get some rest and head back to class Monday morning.
Good Morning Tucson has followed Znora on their journey over the last few months. We came to join them during rehearsal a few days before they drove up to the Phoenix Metro and won Alice Cooper’s big yearly talent show.
That achievement meant Znora then earned the right to open for the legendary band at their annual Christmas concert.
Starting the new year, Adrián Negrete, Joshua Montaño and Johny Rohde want to share their original songs with fans in Southern Arizona. Their new record is an extended play, or EP — not a single, but also not enough songs yet for a full album.
We checked in with the band over Zoom before Sunday’s concert and record release. Negrete and Rohde shared their thoughts on going into the studio to record and playing their songs together at the same time.
