"Music is my Ritalin." That is what young musician Zach Below says when asked about the role music plays in his life. "It is my outlet. If I didn't have a guitar in front of me, I don't know what I'd do with all my energy." Zach Below creates a mix of acoustic rock and country rock/pop that continues to pull in fans of many different genres. He creates lyrically driven songs with music that can stand on it's own. His music is perfect for long road trips with the windows down. Growing up in Evansville, IN, Zach Below was immersed into music at a young age. His father was a music minister at a church in Evansville and quickly employed Zach to play a variety of instruments including guitar, drums, and keys. "I love that I grew up playing in church. It helped me feel right at home on stage. Now the bigger the crowd the better. The stage is where I feel comfortable," Zach says. A fact that is evident when you see him perform live. Zach began writing music as a sophomore in high school. What began as a hobby developed into a career. He bagan playing at local parties and among friends. That turned into smaller gigs. Then, in September of 2005 Zach Below released his debut album with producer and musician Morgan Cryar of Premier Records in Nashville. The current songs on Zach's album are an overflow from his life. "To me it all boils down to one thing...relationships. All emotion stems from what is going on in the relationships in your life, and my songs are simply pictures of the relationships in my life." Zach Below's debut album "A Thousand Words" was just released in September. "They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and my songs are all pictures from my life. I went with the title "A Thousand Words becuase I'm painting pictures through music." As of right now, Zach is distributing his project himself, and is working hard to get it into as many hands as possilbe. In addition, he is loaded with gigs and always looking for more. In the next month and a half Zach will travel to Indiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Virginia for shows. "I love the road and try to be on it as much as I can. There are limits though when you are doing it all yourself." In light of that, Zach Below is looking to be picked up by a record company that loves making music. He is also trying to communicate with booking agents, radio promoters, and managers. "I'm ready to dive in 110%. I love the direction I am headed and I'm just waiting for the right people to work with. I love my life and can't wait to see what happens in the next 20 miles.
