ZAC WILKERSON

Zac Wilkerson showed musical talent at a young age, prompting his father to teach him to read music before he could read words. He began singing in a small country church in Buffalo, Oklahoma at the age of 4. After picking up his father’s guitar in his pre-teen years, Zac was heavily influenced by the range of styles found in his mother and father’s record collection. His father’s Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Sr., Charlie Daniels Band, Steve Miller Band, and Eric Clapton records mixed fluidly with his mother’s Ray Charles, Bill Withers, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Temptations recordings. These sounds eventually led him to explore the music of Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Lightnin’ Hopkins. This eclectic mix of assorted sounds formed the foundation for his musical influence.

So what does Zac Wilkerson sound like? It's a sound that you'll have a hard time classifying into a single genre. Elements of Country, Gospel, Blues, Soul, Motown and Southern Rock mix fluidly even within the same song. Much discussion has taken place over exactly what genre Zac Wilkerson fits in best, and when asked directly Zac will shrug his shoulders and give you a definitive "I don't know."
