"Guiding Star" is a compelling collection of hard hitting rock songs and ballads that feature August's powerful and emotional vocals as well as his fiery guitar playing. The album was produced by the multi-talented Alessandro Del Vecchio and features a slew of talented contributors. Del Vecchio handles bass, keyboards, and backing vocals (and contributes some rhythm guitar to 'Won't Let Your Love Take Me Down') and Jelly Cardarelli plays drums. Additionally, Jeff Scott Soto (background vocals, plus a songwriting contribution on "Take My Hand"), Dennis DeYoung (keyboard solo on "Take My Hand"), Jimmy Leahey (acoustic guitars on "A Matter of Yesterday"), Andrea Seveso (additional rhythm guitars on "Won't Let Your Love Take Me Down"), and Martin Jepsen Andersen (who contributed to the songwriting and additional rhythm guitars on "Escape The Rain") all appear. Guillermo De Medio, Pete Alpenborg, and Jan Akesson all contributed to the songwriting and added additional keyboards as well.

August Zadra is best known for his touring and recording as a member of Dennis DeYoung's solo band since 2010. August has also written, recorded, or performed with several esteemed and much loved artists over the years including Jeff Scott Soto, Nuno Bettencourt, Robin Zander, Jim Peterik, and more. In 2020, the band he formed with vocalist Rudy Cardenas, Waiting for Monday, released their critically acclaimed debut album on the Frontiers label. Also in 2020 and in 2021, he contributed backing vocals and guitars to Dennis DeYoung's highly praised final studio albums, "26 East, Vol. 1" and "26 East, Vol. 2", respectively.
