Zac Galen

Having shared the stage with artists as diverse as KRS-One, Kool G Rap, Roomful of Blues, Steve Lacy, RJD2 and the Benevento/Russo Duo, Zac has felt most at home performing, thriving on the relationship with audiences around the world and utilizing the connection between fellow musicians within bands like Peoples Republic of Monsters, Old Man Benjamin, The Lorax, The Plurals, Men Without Class, The Lockdowns, Watershedding Down, The Mumbles, and many more.

As a solo performer he has captivated thousands with personal tales of love, melancholy, and affirmation, including deeply retrospective interpretation of past masters and heroes such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Joni Mitchell, and Nick Drake. The live show incorporates elements of folk, jazz, blues, funk, hip-hop, and many other genres to combine for a performance which is at once genuine and also full of surprises.

Accomplished singer, guitarist, song-writer, improviser... Zac Galen emerges as a force to be reckoned with on the contemporary music scene and will be making meaningful expression for years to come...

"From Queens to Philly; The Woo town to Berlin they all shoutin for him to do it again - Zac Galen is Eric Krasno meets Ben Harper... add Steve Mossberg on the organ and some boom-bap from yours truly and you've got a high powered trio of soulful cookin... have gigs, will travel...".... Thus spoke drummer Ethan Shorter, peep son on the traps...
