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
"Waters' acrobatic guitar playing is not wasted on audiences, as his adroit fingers work the fretboard of his Gibson Les Paul"- Sacramento News and Review
"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
