Musician Stephen Sanchez is capping off a whirlwind year by releasing his debut album “Angel Face,” out Friday.
“I used to do the same thing, so to have people do that for my song, it’s a very cool thing,” said Sanchez. He and his bandmates like to listen and create an evolving Top Five list of the covers.“I definitely want to try new stuff, ” he says, adding that “Angle Face” “is a singular story that has a start and it has an end.”
“I’m enjoying it a lot right now. You know, and I think until I stop enjoying it, then I’ll go do something else.” Sanchez grew up in the Sacramento area where he would bring his ukulele to high school “every day” until learning to play the guitar. He became known as “the guitar kid” who would forego eating to hold 30 minute concerts in the school cafeteria during lunch.“I didn’t really have a lot of girls like me in high school. Or maybe they just never came up to me and told me... I’m still a dork now. Like, nothing’s changed other than I dress a little better, do my hair a bit better. I hope.
