Zachary Cale

Zachary Cale is a singer-songwriter from Brooklyn who started putting out albums in the late 2000s. His first record, The Blue House, came out in 2007, followed by Sleepwalker in 2009 and Bluebird in 2013. He's known for a quiet, introspective style that draws on folk and singer-songwriter traditions.

A song called "Blake's Way" from 2013 became something of a calling card for him, a slow-burning track about solitude that people connected with. Other songs like "We Had Our Day In The Sun" and "Day For Night" follow a similar vein, spare arrangements, plainspoken lyrics, a kind of late-night mood.

He's worked with musicians like Tony Scherr on bass and Evan Ziporyn on saxophone, and has performed both solo and with a band. More recent albums include Boulevard from 2016, Shadows of the Sun from 2018, and The Airplanes of Boston from 2022.
