Ezra was disheartened by the slow progress of his work and was adamant about leaving his musical dreams in the middle of his career. Before Ezra could leave his dreams, a musical record idea came up that is all set to change his musical career by continuing his dreams and bringing in the best to the musical world.
Dallas, Texas – May 01, 2021 - Ezra Vancil is a touring artist. Vancil has been the lead singer in several popular regional Texas-based bands over the decades. He has performed at Kerrville Folk Festival 'New Folk' quite a lot of times. Vancil had a stable career in music until Mid March; this is until the pandemic hit the world. As the pandemic hit, the world was shaken up by the storms of the virus, and Ezra's music career and new Album Project started losing their clout. As the COVID – 19 outbreak continued, Vancil started losing hope of building a career in music.
Things took a turn when Vancil was traveling to Florida for the concert. Ezra took his family and him whenever he played by the beach; this is because his family loved spending time around the beach. At this time, Vancil's twelve-year-old daughter Cozi started songwriting and took guitar and singing lessons. Halfway through the journey, Vancil received a call that said that the event was called off. Vancil and his family had to stay in Florida due to the COVID – 19 guidelines. During this time, Vancil's life turned around at a three-sixty degree.
Ezra worked with his daughter Cozi on her songwriting skills. He started making her practice on the songs that he planned on releasing soon afterward. Vancil had never imagined that he would be asking his twelve-year-old daughter to sing with him as a duet for his new album "The Family Songbook." Recording the song was a challenge since all studios had been shut down due to the pandemic. Vancil and his daughter recorded their song "Parables" in Nashville along with the help of Vancil's friends Chirs Brush and Jon Estes, who laid drums and bass tracks on the beautiful song. Parables became the first single of the new record that Ezra and Cozi recorded. Never in a million years would Vancil have imagined that his daughter would be singing for the album he had dedicated to his family. After Parables, cozi added her vocals to many other songs of the album.
In late 2020, Ezra decided to form a band with cozi and other members to conduct interviews to revive his music dreams. Cozi and Vancil found inspiration for their music by sharing their passion for music among themselves. The new band is known as "Cozi and the Flounder" tentatively and will be releasing its first EP in late 2021.
Here is how some of the best critiques out there are praising "The Family Songbook."
