I have been hearing about this band for a couple years and finally saw them last night and loved the whole group.The horn players are fantastic adding the Jazz and vintage Funk flavors from the '60's & '70's classic groups we all loved back then. The lead singer is a very accomplished soul and Blues Rock vocalist with a surprising amount of strength for her petite size. Everyone wanted more than the two sets of mostly originals with some classic Michael Jackson , Tom Petty / Band Of Gypsies and some Led Zep mixed together in a medley or two.

Always love the visuals he provides. First time at this venue and really loved the view of the ocean. Sound and lights were perfect.

So Awesome! Such a great and friendly guy. Plays great music and is really talented. Also really makes you feel like you're a part of the concert. He likes to talk and joke and be familial :)

All the staff at the Catalyst were very courteous and were sure to tell everyone to respect eachothers space.....The show was INCREDIBLE....the stage set up, the lighting, keeping the drinkers and drunks out of the main floor was NICE. Zakk and the whole DOOM CREWput on a show to remember....especially touching was the tribute to Dimebag....I was able to catch 2 guitar picks and get the set list at the end! Good tmes, great venue, a simply AMAZING night!!!!

Amazing show. He has great stage presence and really had the crowd moving for over 2 hours. Definitely would see him again. Best show I’ve seen at Moe’s!
