About Me

"His voice really is something special; simply by singing his songs, he makes you feel as if you’re along for the ride, a part of his plight...In a time when everything seems to sound the same, it’s graet to see a young player with the ability to make going to see a live show special just by connecting with the audience."Nominated for Denver’s Best Singer/Songwriter by Westword 2006."Elizabeth St." Produced by Steve Avedis (Tony Bennett, *NSYNC, Kenny Rodgers, Edwin McCain), "Elizabeth St." combines styles of Folk, Acoustic, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Soul, and funk. With this new release, Zack soares beyond the constraints of traditional Americana and finds a style of his own." "Originally from Houston, Texas, Zack grew up in a musically talented home. At a very young age Zack learned the piano, and then the guitar...this is where he found his passion. Learning the art of blues through Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Lee Hooker, and Rock and Roll from the likes of AC/DC and the Beatles, Zack found himself with a plethora of musical ideas. It was a this time that he began putting his own thoughts on paper."In 2006 & 2007 alone, Zack Has Performed At: Red Rocks Amphitheater (Morrison, Co) The Mint (Los Angeles, Ca) Paradise Lounge (Boston, Ma) Moby Arena (Fort Collins, Co) The Soiled Dove (Denver, Co) The Red Carper (St. Cloud, Mn) The Perseverance (London, UK) Hotel Utah (San Francisco, Ca) Gothic Theatre (Denver, Co) and many others!and Performed With: Josh Kelley, Leo Kottke Ari Hest Joe Firstman, Loudon Wainwright III Tony Lucca Ernie Halter AM Randal Bramblett and many others!..................................................... ..............................................
