About Me



Howdy, my name is Zak, I play guitar in a rockabilly band called THE ALLEY DUKES and (once in a blue moon or, more specifically, every Halloween) a psychobilly Misfits tribute band called THE MORIBUNDS . I suffer from permanent hearing damage inflicted upon me by old surf-instrumental band THE TREBLEMAKERS who are operational once again.

When I need a break from the noise I like to play blues.

I don't have a CD for sale at the moment, but you can get all the songs on this player on my soundclick page !
