Tonight’s Headlining Band
Zach Person (Premier Sponsor: Yellowstone Club)
American recording artist Zach Person is the new face of indie rock. Originally from Houston, Texas, Person received his first national spotlight while appearing on American Idol Season 15, earning admiration from celebrity judges, Jennifer Lopez, who fondly stated, "He's from another time," and Keith Urban who said, "You've got your own style.” Following American Idol, Person was embraced by the Texas music scene, becoming a House of Blues Music Forward Foundation Alumnus, and representing the Houston Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge, a competition featuring some of the foremost blues artists from around the world; these opportunities would later lead to Person sharing stages with legendary acts such as Buddy Guy and Robert Cray. Emerging out of Austin, Texas, Person plays loud, raw, and connects with his music fans on a primal sonic level. He’s got swagger, talent, and grit beyond his years. With the poise of a seasoned veteran and the stylings of a megastar, Person commands the stage from the moment he plugs in.
Person’s genre-defying sound draws inspiration from prolific artists like The Black Keys, Jack White, Chris Stapleton, Jonny Lang, Funkadelic, and Led Zeppelin. His 2021 self-titled debut LP made waves and received acclaim from American Songwriter, Classic Rock Magazine, American Blues Scene, Guitar World, Premier Guitar, and more. Person has since landed collaborations with major international brands like Amazon, Kendra Scott, Soho House, Kimpton & Fairmont Hotels, and BMI. His fresh take on blues and rock — arranged in a modern pop format — makes him a force in the new generation of indie musicians.
