“Blessed with a laser-sharp ear for melody and considerable keyboard chops,” (Casey Rea, Seven Days), 19-year-old Zac Clark has spent the past few months winning over audiences across the east coast, taking the stage at clubs like Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, RI, Paradise and Avalon in Boston, MA, and making a sold out appearance at Higher Ground in Burlington, VT, sharing the stage with artists like Teddy Geiger (Columbia Records), Ben Jelen, Augustana (Epic Records) and Gomez (ATO Records), all in support of his new EP, Ellipsis, produced by Mike Poorman (ex-Hot Rod Circuit, Vagrant Records) and released in conjunction with Ten Pin Management (Paul Westerberg, New York Dolls.) The five-song disc, on which Zac plays every instrument, is “packed with hooks and heart-on-sleeve poetics,” and the live show, featuring touring veterans Mike Poorman and Daryl Rabidoux on drums and bass, is as energetic and engaging as they come. Hailed as a “top-flight pop-rock piano player” by the Burlington Free Press and compared to Ben Folds and Elvis Costello by Seven Days, you wont want to miss out on Zac's blend of piano pop sensibility with indie rock and punk influences.

hi there, i'm actually doing quite well, thank you.
so here is a story. i recorded my songs as a preemptive strike for when i turn 80 and you know, forget half of everything.(no joke) And I still added them even if they are what some might refer to as "ghetto" recordings.
why thank you. !!! zac, i am so bummed i was gonna come out to your show but i am so sick :( i can't make it. im very sorry, i hope you play a killer show (and i know you will) have a blast and give me a full report later about how many autographs you signed :D
also, i'll get back to you about the whole vpr thing. i havent gotten a chance to really talk to my dad about it yet. but we'll see for sure. i'll do whatever i can. or else i'll just wear a "zac clark" promo tshirt and try handing out flyers or something..
so i was looking at trying to get to your show and realized i would be on a bus for 5 hours. and that it wasn't cheap. I really would like to see you perform and ACTUALLY meet you before hand, though, if it's do able.. uhh, any word on recording yet? not that i'm impatient, just wondering.
