<\/a>Current Project(s): <\/strong>Southern Groove Redemption, The B3, Zechariah Lloyd, Brick Drop<\/span><\/p>\n Where are you from? <\/strong>Vicksburg, Mississippi<\/span><\/p>\n Your music Style\/Genre: <\/strong>Southern Rock, Blues\/Roots<\/span><\/p>\n What is your preferred approach to making sounds? <\/strong>Feel it out. I let my emotion shape the groove. Once you have something to work with, explore it until it is what it\u2019s supposed to be. Have fun with it!<\/span><\/p>\n Early music experience: <\/strong>My parents were working musicians when I was young, Mom on the piano and Dad on the drums. So it was always around. I started playing drums at age 12 to Led Zeppelin, Molly Hatchet, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. I didn’t start playing guitar until I went soul searching in Alaska after high school.<\/span><\/p>\n How has the music you create changed since the first song you wrote? <\/strong>Well it all changes from song to song and season to season, but I think mostly it\u2019s just become a little more complex or strange. I grew tired of writing “the same ol’ stuff.” I try to push myself to make something new, interesting, or different from everything else.<\/span><\/p>\n Why did you start playing? <\/strong>It was just always around. It was just assumed that we would play something. Mom tried to get me to play piano, but I wanted to be a badass like my dad. I started playing guitar because it was a new creative outlet for emotions that were different than playing drums.<\/span><\/p>\n What are some of your favorite bands? <\/strong>Led Zeppelin, Allman Bros., Marcus King Band, Derek Trucks Band, Earphunk, Lettuce, Jompson Bros, Chris Stapleton.<\/span><\/p>\n Most memorable person you\u2019ve jammed with: <\/strong>Played a show with an Impromptu show at Proud Larry’s with Cary Hudson one time, and that was a magical experience. Prob in my feels, but playing with Jesse Lipe was an amazing experience as well.<\/span><\/p>\n Do you have a \u201cday job\u201d? If so, where? <\/strong>Yeah, I’m the Executive Chef at the Alpha Omicron Pi (\u0391\u039f\u03c0) sorority house on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n Aspirations: <\/strong>Simple answer is to just be the best at whatever I do. Long term, though, trying to eventually own start a small farm to table restaurant on my<\/em> farm, sourcing our product from ourselves. Touring and playing music when I want.<\/span><\/p>\n Got a website?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n www.reverbnation.com\/zechariahlloyd<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
