Zach Deputy at the Funky Buddha Lounge & Brewery

Zach Deputy, who is taking the Bamboo Stage Tuesday, November 9 at the Funky Buddha Lounge & Brewery. Put simply, there is nothing else out there like Zach Deputy. Truly a one-man band, he is a powerhouse of performance, technical chops and one hell of a charismatic presence. Deputy uses live loops, layering sounds through the magic of technology to create a full band effect. While he’s not the first artist using this technique, Deputy has taken it to the next level. He’s also a playful songwriter, shredder on guitar, soulful voice with a 4+ octave vocal range and can drop freestyle rhymes with the best of them. The Zach Deputy sound is essentially roots rock, but in his case the roots are in soul, calypso and dancehall, underpinned by driving hip-hop, rock steady, Motown and Stax backbeats created with his layered vocal beatboxing. On top of the backbeat, Deputy’s nylon strings pull multiple duties as bass, rhythm and lead guitar. Riding over that, a plethora of sounds — keyboard, steel drums and an entire horn section — come pumping and grinding out of the speakers when he takes the stage. He is a one man dance party, but he can also bring an audience to rapt attention with a heartfelt love ballad.

Zach Deputy is sponsored by Godin Guitars, and plays nothing else. His new album Sunshine is available now at www.zachdeputy.com | www.myspace.com/zachdeputy.
