Widetrack is the musical partnership of father-son duo Ron and Zach Tippin.
The band's "Alterna-Prog" sound strikes a balance between the moody-deep undertones of progressive groups such as Pink Floyd, Radiohead, A Perfect Circle, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, etc., with an edginess of alternative/hard rock bands like Soundgarden, Queens Of The Stone Age, Tool, STP, etc.
Their discography thus far consists of: 2007's self-titled debut, 2009's Widetrack II, and Zach's 2018 debut as bassist, Widetrack III. All three albums were co-produced by Andy Patalan, guitarist for popular '90s grunge-rock band, Sponge.
Beginning in January 2019, the father-son team wrote, recorded and released one new song each month, marking Zach's debut as a songwriter and recording engineer, as well as the first time Ron had written Widetrack music with another person.
The twelve songs comprise Widetrack's fourth album, The Unwakening, released on April 23rd, 2020 (Zach's 16th birthday).
Presently, the duo is finishing their fifth Widetrack album and preparing for future live shows.
