Whether you know it or not, you’re undoubtedly familiar with the timeless licks and tones of today’s guest: Zak Loy.
A native of Dinero, Texas, Zak made a name for himself as a guitarist in the Austin music scene as early as twelve years old. He has since formed and fronted well-known nationally touring groups such as Alpha Rev, Damesviolet, and Mother’s Anthem.
In 2012, he became a permanent member of iconic ‘90s rockers +LIVE+ and right-hand-man to frontman Ed Kowalcyzk.
Last year, Zak released his debut solo LP entitled “Dinero”, and is currently touring the record between amphitheater dates with +LIVE+.
