A Real Blues Man's Guitar Speaks For Itself.
Zechariah Lloyd is a different kind of a delta blues rock musician, the kind that you don't find easily these days. The Mississippi blues man and former drummer has come a long way in his own struggle to find his soul and make ends meet while playing blues guitar in a society that is madly running after fake happiness, while dancing their lives and their time away. So why would The Blues matter? It matters because The Blues reflect a people of a society that is in a reckoning with it's actions, the results and the reality, something that most of us run away from. The Blues is for those who feel the pain but have a drive to find constructive ways to heal that pain.
Zechariah has a gift from God, of putting the plight of his own hardships in life and utilising that to connect with others going through the same kinds of tribulations, giving them a sense of relief, as he carefully crafts neatly woven works of musical art into something that you wouldn't want to stop listening because it's more than about a girl and a boy, it's about the things we go through everyday in life that can either make or break a person, like being a good Dad.
Zechariah Lloyd has a debut album out, Down To The River, a clear crossover song garnished with delta blues simmering with real rock and reminds you of what a fresh start can look like, and the song Change is Coming, summarizes the true craftsmanship of a blues guitar man who is in the process of healing.
On this episode of Soundplosive listen to Zak talk about how he overcame his own battles and used his guitar and the blues as a catalyst for change, for himself and for those around him.
