Zoomtown Reunion is proud to announce the release of the Song For Humanity suite. It features the Plymouth Congregational Choir under the direction of Philip Brunelle. Check out the launch page below to listen on your favorite streaming service.

Song for Humanity: Common Ground / Nature and Norm Recognizing that the world is full of reasons to be pessimistic, Zoomtown Reunion offers this musical suite as a reminder to believe in our potential to overcome division and distrust, and then act on that belief.

Zoomtown Reunion's new release! It's an epic which features the Plymouth Congregational Church Choir under the direction of Philip Brunelle.

Song for Humanity, by Zoomtown Reunion track by Zoomtown Reunion

We are excited to announce that our upcoming release features the Plymouth Congregational Choir under the direction of Philip Brunelle. While working on the piece, Geoff playfully commented that the song needed a choir. Derek said he might have the connections to make that happen. Thor then got to work and composed his first choral arrangement. Many thanks to Philip Brunelle and the choral singers for contributing their talents to this exciting collaboration. The new single drops December 15. It's going to be epic!

Are you tired of people putting their political ideology ahead of finding practical solutions to society's most pressing issues? Derek Johnson sure is, so he wrote a song about it. Zoomtown Reunion's new single drops December 1st!
