Laurie got offended that I used the word 'puke', but to me, that's what her dinner tasted like.

About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Zach Daniels is a member of the band Oakhurst. Make sure to check out www.porchmusic.com and sign up for the mailing list so that you can be sure to keep up with band news and updates -or- you can check out the band's myspace at www.myspace.com/oakhurst for other info and tour schedules. Zach was born in Steamboat Springs, CO and grew up mostly in the Denver area. Zach graduated from St. John's Military School in Salina, KS in 2000, and went on to pursue a degree in economics and accounting at the University of Montana in Missoula. Instead, he played banjo, fished, and skied. In the summer of 02' Zach came home and helped his Mom get the South Bay Market on its feet on the Horsetooth Resevoir and played banjo all day everyday for long time. Next door neighbor Aaron Youngberg of Hit n' Run Bluegrass showed him a lick or two and pushed him out the door and into the real world of banjo. Zach never turned back and is now studying privately under banjo great, Pete Wernick. Zach plays a 1995 Stelling Red Fox and uses GHS custom double-loop ended strings. Zach's banjo is equipped with Fishman's 'Rare-Earth' banjo pick-up.
