Zak Schaffer

“It took a long time, but Zak has finally arrived. Confident, wise, accomplished. This is a guy who fears nothing and nobody. His last album is start to finish solid as a rock. A combination of classic english pop and a clever, American viewpoint. Zak has finally found his voice.

“Armed with nothing but a Gibson acoustic that is older than he is, Zak is capable of keeping a crowd entertained with his effortless performances of his own droll pieces of power-pop while easily slipping into a cover here and there that tips his hand of where he comes from musically.

“The joy of seeing Zak play lies in getting to witness someone who has been through a lot and is still standing; and getting better as time passes. Like a fine wine that needs to age (and breathe for a while) Zak is a performer of a bygone age when there were no laptops or loop pedals. Where simply playing and singing was more than enough – and to be fair, that’s all there was.“
