“Zachary Hunter is the real deal, a solid country-rock singer-songwriter whose music stands up favorably to that of any of the current male stars of Nashville country radio.”
-Stewart Mason - All Music Guide
Born in the hills of Southwest Virginia and raised in Piedmont, North Carolina, Zachary Hunter first picked up a guitar at age six. But it wasn't until age 18, when scholastic sports were waning in his life, that he got serious about playing and singing. After becoming proficient on the instrument, he went on to play electric guitar and bass in a variety of bands in the late-‘80s. While living in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the early-‘90’s, Zachary began performing as a solo act in coffee shops, bars and restaurants. After several years, he finally settled in his present home of Durango, Colorado, where he further developed his musical chops playing in country cover bands.
With the release of his third album, In Your Dreams, on Wolf/Aspirion Records, Zachary is beginning to reap the rewards of his hard work and devotion. He wrote all 13 songs on the disc, which weaves in and out of traditional and modern country music with seamless ease. In Your Dreams was co-produced by Zachary and Ed Stasium, who has produced, engineered, and mixed a wide variety of artists in his career, including The Ramones, Mick Jagger, Joan Jett, Carly Simon, and Kathie Baillie, just to mention a few.
Recorded in Colorado and Nashville, In Your Dreams features an all-star cast of session players, including, Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, John Fogerty), Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam), Brent Mason, Paul Franklin, Stuart Duncan (all "A list" Nashville session players), Bob Babbit (one of the legendary "Funk Brothers," of Motown fame), and world-class background vocalists, Kathie Baillie, Michael Bonagura, and Alyssa Bonagura.
