About Me

hi- My name is Slim Shady, er. No, it's Zak Ward. I'm a musician from Niagara Falls, NY. Pretty cool huh? I play in a band called Son of the Sun (myspace.com/sonofthesunmusic).
This is the place for my solo stuffs. In addition to the music I write by myself and with SOTS I play other peoples music professionally at bars, pubs, taverns, drinking establishments, watering holes and local haunts.
I play every Thursday night at the Brickyard Pub in Lewiston, NY. Home of the best chicken wings in the area, and we know wings.
I play every Tuesday at Shorty's Sports Bar in Niagara Falls which also has fantastic wings.
I play guitar in a local cover/party/good timey band called the Visitors (thevisitorsband.com)
Besides eating wings, even though I'm more partial to cx fingers, I work at a guitar shop and dream of fortune and success. I dream of a day when I'm out of debt and can afford to go to a doctor. In America, that's called fortune and success. Thanks for looking.
