Editor's review
Sentimental strummer Jacob Zachary can make awkward, personal feelings sound like universal truths. These impressively polished songs belie an ability to expose the real and gritty nature of loving and losing.
Biography
Born in Crowley, Louisiana and raised on both sides of the Mississippi River, Jacob Zachary emerged from the woodwork of a simple small-town existence under the constant influences of Church, family, and a passion for music. The son of a preacher who often spent time hammering out blues guitar riffs, Jacob had great respect for music from the onset, and always kept himself in the atmosphere of it.
Though his craft in music is still in constant development, Jacobs folk- rock sound has already been compared to the likes of some well-seasoned musicians such as John Mayer and David Gray.
Jacob currently resides in Lynchburg, VA and plays shows regularly in regional cafés, coffeeshops, colleges, and clubs.
