About Me

I've turned into a bit of a journeyman without wanting to be. There are times when I thought that I had found my musical home, and I was wrong. So here I am doing a little of this and a little of that, all the while trying to get better at what I do, and maybe make myself valuable enough to keep around. Music is an integral part of my life...and extension of my world view. So here is a place where you can hear what I've done and what I am doing. Maybe together we will figure out just where exactly I will end up. I don't like being put into a music(al) box. I love playing hard and fast rock music and tender acoustic songs as well. I cannot be contained by one genre, nor do I have any desire to be. So, come along with me on my journey if you like. I hope there is something here that you can connect with...something that speaks to you be it from my past, present or my future. I am the lead guitar player in The Zachary J Band. Check us out. We're working on a new cd now. It's killer.Sponsors: Curt Mangan Strings.My World Visitor Map!
