Local rock trio Znora is getting ready for their biggest show yet. In late October, they warm up the stage at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall for another trio: the legendary group ZZ Top.
Good Morning Tucson caught up with the members of Znora about getting in the right head space and making their hometown proud.
If you asked lead vocalist Adrián Negrete what his life has been like this past year, he’d have a short answer for you. “It’s kind of like, ‘eat, sleep, Znora.'”
That determination has helped Znora earn the spotlight with shows at the Rialto Theater, and in big state competitions like Alice Cooper’s yearly contest in Phoenix .
Sitting in the Rialto’s upper-tier seats, we asked the guys to reflect on how far they’ve come as a young trio.
“We were so nervous before shows, and they were smaller shows, too,” drummer Josh Montaño said. “We wouldn’t eat all day because we don’t want to throw up. I feel like we realized how far we’ve come, because we can eat right before a show.”
