Zac McFadden & The Speakeasy Band

About Me

What started off as a one-man band has quickly evolved into one of Southern Ohioâ€™s newest up-and-coming quintets. Led by front man Zac McFadden on lead vocals, guitar, keys, and harmonica, Zac McFadden and the Speakeasy Band came together in early 2007 to perform an eclectic mix of soul, rock, blues, and folk music. Zacâ€™s soulful vocals are accompanied by the smooth guitar sounds of brother Gage McFadden. Kim Glick contributes to the band as the lone female with background vocals and the tambourine. Josh â€œPumaâ€ Reveal adds a funky vibe on bass, while Joey Gillum (also from local favorite Schooley Station) keeps the beat on drums. The band gains inspiration and influence from a variety of artists including Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne, Joe Cocker, Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, and many more. Playing in Columbus based venues such as the House of Crave and around Southern Ohio and places like The Crosskeys Tavern, The Dock At Water, El Charro's Cantina, and BDUBS. the band offers an entertaining live show filled with their favorite covers as well as many original fan favorites such as â€œVegasâ€ and â€œAnyhow, Anywaysâ€. The crew is also getting ready to head into the studio to work on their first full album. So stay tuned.
"Zac, who is a stylish writer and soulful vocalist, gave us goose bumps. Soulful and melodic, with a flair for putting emphasis into his music. We felt like the greats were being reborn before our eyes. Greats such as, The Doors, Bob Dylan and possibly even the Beatles. These young gentlemen have learned their lessons well and it showed at the PV Jam.We want to see much more of Zac and the guys, oh yes, we certainly do." - Michael Ellison of Frendo's Cryb
