“The beauty is in the imperfections,” solemnly proclaims Zachary Baker, the unlikely storyteller better known around the world to fans as Zacky Vengeance, founding member and guitarist of the multi-platinum rock band Avenged Sevenfold.  Peel back the layers and you will find the punk rock kid forged into a man by a million-mile journey: a tale that begins with a slightly out of tune guitar and a burning desire to voice his truth.  Trading distortion for dust and grit, Baker carves out his own lane in the alt-country landscape. Driven by his restless spirit and the outlaw heroes that inspired him, you will find a raw sermon of honesty.  His upcoming solo debut, Dark Horse, blends poignant storytelling with Americana influences, signaling a striking evolution from his hard rock background into a songwriter stepping fully into his own.
