Zak sings with a warm baritone supported by an old Martin guitar and low tuned Weissenborn lap steel. His complex finger style technique was born out of the country blues tradition through years of immersion in the work of players as diverse as John Fahey, Chet Atkins, and Merle Travis. His music has been described as heavy songs with a light touch; an AM radio throwback voice and an intricate finger-style technique framed by a drummer’s rhythm. Stage by stage, in clubs, music halls, bars, and coffeehouses across the country, he has honed a live show that keeps audiences glued to the stage. He Co-founded the much acclaimed folk trio Rusty Belle in 2006, and has appeared on records by Chris Smither (Time Stands Still, Still on the Levee), Jeffrey Foucault (Shoot the Moon Right Between the Eyes), Peter Mulvey (Letters From a Flying Machine) and Chris Pureka (How I Learned to See in the Dark). All while touring and releasing his solo records (Two Lines, Yesterday’s Sun, I Took Molly to See the Butterflies, Wolf trees).

"Masterful finger picking guitar, and a baritone vocal style that is smooth as hell.  If you haven't listened yet, you need to do so ASAP." - The Alt Revue

“… sings with a compelling timbre that along with his erudite guitar work, makes him one of indie rock’s most unconventional yet talented troubadours.” - Glide Magazine
