ZACH DEPUTY
May 08, 2008 / 6:30 - 10:00
Get on board the funk train to your happy place. Part human beat box, part guitar genius and part soul searing singer/ songwriter. You never knew six strings, a couple of microphones and a big white fella could bring so much positive energy to the table. Backed by years of hard work, a stage presence you can’t teach and his musical wingman Paul Kearns, Zach has created a style all his own. Like the range of his voice, his musical influences create a melting pot of funk originality. Watch hips sway and troubles sweat themselves away when Zach Deputy takes the stage. Zach Deputy is a man who puts the fun in funky and he is a man who never disappoints.
