ZACH DEPUTY: REVIEW & PICS



Written by Evan Levy, Pics by James Laffin & Lauren Armanie

It can be tough to be one of the first bands on after a really amazing late night of music. Most people are still stirring in their tents, and usually need some time to ease into the day. Zach Deputy wasn't having any of that - he burst onto the stage with a furious whirlwind of funk that got this weary crowd into high gear. I had never seem him before, but after his performance at Mountain Jam, I won't forget him. Arising just one hour before his set as he shook off the cobwebs from last night's musical madness, Zach is a one man band utilizing loop pedals, electronic drum pedals and an arsenal of effects that will make you wonder if there's a band backstage helping him out.


He literally makes full use of each finger on each hand, each foot working different pedal boards in perfect synchronicity. It's truly a mind blowing experience to watch him work.





The wall of funk he created was amazing - be sure to check this guy out if he comes to rock your town. Click here to get the details on where he'll be next.
