What do the people think?
"He and his bandmates have been tearing up the local music scene lately" - Mark Demsky (Fox40)
"He's on his way, tearing up the club circuit around California"-Sacramento Magazine

"The musical trinity composed of Zach Waters (guitar/vocals), Steve Pires (drums), and Grayson Roberts (bass), is taking over the Central Valley" - Rock & Research Magazine
"Some say, from birth, we all have untapped creative potential, but it's rare you find someone so intimately in touch with that creativity and able to get it outside of themselves with such " hold it up to the light" and " take that" attitude. Check these guys out and you'll likely become fans for life" - Chris Conley
"Fresh and classic at the same time. I had to listen twice. It's damn good" - Jason Haxton
"We Love Zach!" KZAP Radio
"When I first got to the club, the parking lot was full. That made me smile. I walked in and saw the place packed!"-Lynn's Hangouts

Bio
The Zach Waters Band is a Blues/Rock band from Sacramento, CA. This power trio consists of drummer Steve Pires, bassist Grayson Roberts, and is fronted by 21 year old guitarist/vocalist Zach Waters. Taking inspiration from classic artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Alice in Chains, Montrose, Led Zeppelin, ACDC, and more, this young artist is putting his own twist on the classic rock, blues driven genre. The first lineup of The Zach Waters Band was formed in December of 2016, when Zach was a 16 year old junior in High School. The young blues rocker has been fortunate enough to share the lighted stage with acts such as: Dokken, Y&T, Pat Travers, Albert Cummings, Frank Hannon, LA Guns, Gretchen Menn, Ron Artis II, Chris Cain, Tommy Castro, Jackie Greene, and others!
