About Zach
Hi guys (And Girls). My name is Zach Myers...Im a scorpio...I enjoy long walks on the beach and...oh Wait...this is a self Bio. Ive been going to rock n roll shows and listening to rock n roll since I can remember along with blues and soul music... being from Memphis,TN theres no Shortage of GREAT music with soul. Well then I started playing guitar at 13. and then at 14 the next thing I knew I had a Manager, a Record Deal, a Band, and was touring the world. Played blues as a lead guitar player. I actually played a lot of show with Nick Perri on the east coast before I met him with Shinedown and played with him here. I released 2 records under the Zach Myers Band name and went to 5 countries. Then I formed the Fairwell and made a record...I've also played with bands like Saliva, Breaking Point, and quite a few others... And toured as a Guitar Tech for bands such as 3 doors down, Saliva, and others...Then I was asked by Brent Smith to play bass for 2 weeks to fill in... Next thing I know I Joined Shinedown playing Guitar. And then went BACK to bass... and now going BACK to guitar... Did I confuse anyone to much there??? Ive been in the band since 2005. And Barry and Brent have been like my best friends through the last 3 years... I also think this band just made the record I've always wanted to hear ANY band make. And I look forward to many years and leaving blood on the stage every night with these 4 guys... We're all just grateful that you all or anyone is listening...and thanks for listening!
