Growing up in New York's Lower East Side and coming from an artistic family, Zack Glass was exposed to a wide variety of music from an early age. Listening to classic rock and punk music at a young age, his taste changed when he started going through his parent's record collection and discovered an array of music including Reggae and African. After high school Zack had the opportunity to travel to West Africa and Latin America several times which greatly influenced his music and led him to play guitar for Reggae and African bands as well as accompanying a steel pan player from time to time. He started his own reggae band and was writing and singing his own songs, but by the end of the 90's he started to see the limitations of Reggae and began to explore world music. Soon after, he took a leap of faith and began a solo career. Since then, Zack has explored almost every style of popular music, most recently being influenced by folk, country and classic rhythm and blues. Zack has now come full circle; returning to the blues based music he grew up on. Zack has already had the honor to share the stage with some of this century's greatest musicians; Steve Earle, Keb' Mo', Patti Smith, Suzanne Vega, Al MacDowell, Andrew Sterman and Eddie Bobe. Zack has also had the pleasure to perform with some of today's up and coming stars; Vampire Weekend, The National, and Jazz Trumpeter Mark Rapp.

Press Quotes
A true original. Zack Glass is an inspiration... a rare treat!
—Michael David McGuire, NightTalker Radio
This is the real music - music that comes from the heart and performed with passion. Zack’s vocals and layers of instruments combine to create something both new and comfortably familiar. This is a genuine return to roots accomplishment.

In what has been an unimpressive year for new music, Zack Glass’ new cd is a welcome alternative to the assembly line pop we've heard so far. Very nice indeed. Textured, honest music. Recommended for the more discerning listener.
—Slim Uke, Altar Call Records
