Zachary James is an ascending supernova of love and creation that has not only sprouted, but taken root within the dry, cracked ground of planet Earth...  Long in tooth, he's honed his craft thru years of tribulation, earning his lyrical prominence and steady musicianship thru writing the life he's lived from one dream to the next.  Nature and ALL living things are his greatest inspiration, as the natural life that springs forth IS what WE are... The debut album "The Stars I Stripe" is a beautiful alchemy of communal spirit and well written songs, layered with choice instrumentation, hard earned lyrics, featuring an alluring combination of both both wit and charisma.  A smooth, well received voice aids in the communication from his heart to yours.  Though a transformation of consciousness is the goal behind his music, it is cleverly strewn between the commonality of the human condition and unbridled joy, in such a way that it ultimately just feels good to the soul!

As for the rise of his music career, it is just beginning now thru the release of this much anticipated album.  He's been crafting songs for a long time but it wasn't until 2012 when things really started to galvanize into a trusted source of song.  At that turning point in his life, he set out with not much more than a guitar traveling thru the Southwest.  National parks and open mics were the itinerary, and he made the most of both, which turned into an incredible journey of growth and exploration!  It was during this time, that he started to become the artist he is today.  Much of the album has been written since then, as growth and evolution continues daily.  Where it will go, time will tell, but where it came from is a deep sprung well...
