   About Zak & his Unhappy Guitar
I'm Zak, I play guitar in a rockabilly band called THE ALLEY DUKES and (once in a blue moon or, more specifically, every Halloween) a psychobilly Misfits tribute band called THE MORIBUNDS. I suffer from permanent hearing damage inflicted upon me by old surf-instrumental band THE TREBLEMAKERS who are operational once again.

When I need a break from the noise I like to play blues.

I don't have a CD for sale at the moment, but you can get all the songs on this player on my soundclick page!

Keep on jammin’ them blues, it’s music to my ears. The House is a Rockin’ at Odie’s House of Blues with host band Mike Dollins & The Cruize Brothers every Thursday Check out www.bluesguitarnews.ning.com  an all blues network to list your gigs, videos and photos.  See who has joined in the blues social network, and join the fun.  Burn them 6L6's into little sizzling pools of melted glass brothers and sisters.  Peace to the world through blues.
