Born on the rice fields of Jennings, LA by the west bank of the Mississippi River, Jacob Zachary let down his roots in the fertile grounds of the Deep South and eventually learned of stories beneath the soil. His songs stir them up like snakes and spiders
from beneath the cold underbelly of stones in a dry creek bed.
Zachary’s music is often enduring, often contemplative, sometimes high-charged, but never misunderstood. Whether the subject be faith, relationships, or simply a good cup of coffee, what is resoundingly clear upon listening is a deliberate attempt to engage truth at every turn. Inspired by Edgar Lee Masters' epitaph
poems of the Spoon River Anthology, the collected agrarian essays and poetry of Wendell Berry, and the prevailing influence of his church upbringing under the preaching of his father, Zachary is a southern poet, a truck-stop-storyteller as friendly to the temple as he is to the tavern, and haunted by the Holy Ghost. |
