Um...let's see...I was born in 1971 and I live in Montreal, Canada. I play lots of different kinds of music, but some of my favorite stuff to play is country blues. I don't think I'll ever sound like any of my musical heroes, and I sure as hell can't like any of 'em, but I have a pretty good time trying, especially when the booze is flowing freely. These recordings are all done live, singin' and playin' in one take, no overdubs, warts'n'all.Band/artist history
I'm Zak, blah blah blah blah (--------), you can hear me do other kinds of stuff with and , I've recorded with a whole mess of other people, I hate music - it ruined my life. Just kiddin. It ruined my life but I still don't really hate it.Have you performed in front of an audience?All the time...you can't play when you're dead.
