BIOGRAPHY:
Zachary Thomas Diedrich has been forging his own brand of music for over 20 years. Blending the styles of traditional country, blues, roots, alternative rock, classic rock, americana, folk, pop, and jazz, Zac creates an exciting raw new sound while maintaining a respect for timeless traditions. We could talk all day about his influences and the musical spectrums he has explored over the years, but it all comes down to Love. His passion for delivering healing within his music is what truly drives him in his lifes work. One of the goals in his songwriting process is to convey his message so simply that the words write themselves in the listeners mind before the words are even sung. "Deja-vu" would be a good way to describe the feeling he harnesses in his music. His music brings comfort to his audience by reminding them that they are not alone no matter the struggle they are facing. He has grown an organic following that has been supporting him from the very beginning of his musical journey and they are always eager to hear his new songs and stories. He has performed in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and even in the Virgin Islands. Independently, he has released 5 albums from 2007-2018 and is eager to take his music to the next level in 2023 with a series of singles and another album coming soon.

I can't wait to work with some of the finest soon. I have been reaching out to several Engineers and Producers about what it is going to take to make my melody/vision sonically materialize. Praying all the pieces fall into place to make this dream become my reality. I will keep you in the loop as the happenings start happening.
