A Thousand Fires

Biography

Born across wires, three quick ideas became one epic sound.In early 2012, Nashville based singer-songwriter Coury Palermo and Lincoln, NE based writer-multi-instrumentalist-producer Philip Zach began sending song bits and pieces to each other via email. “Philip and I met in 2010 while on the road and quickly became friends”, says Coury. “After about a year of running into each other in different cities, we began throwing around the idea of writing together – it came about very casually.”Six months into writing, three songs had emerged – Coury and Philip were met with the question of what to do with this bourgeoning sound. “I called up Coury one day and said ‘why don’t you fly out to Lincoln (NE) for a few days and let’s see what happens?’” says Philip. “At the time we were both in the middle of recording other projects – the last thing either one of us were looking for was another band situation.” says Coury.What was to be a short trip to record those three songs became the sessions that would shape their debut album, “rebelloverliar”. “Within three days, we had recorded the three songs and written four more. The pace was incredible,” says Philip.

By the end of the seventh day, the two had amassed a collection of nine sonically varied pop songs that drew inspiration from their personal journeys and were heavily influenced by the music of their childhood.

“This album represents hope to me,” says Coury. “It’s the story of the ‘every man’ – Philip, myself, friends, family, strangers who have impacted us – times in life that test our strength and the moments in between that we celebrate.”
