Zach Cornell Band

This band can do it all. I play roughly 250 shows each year, including corporate events, weddings, backyard parties, and even the occasional living room. If you want a rowdy, rocking show, I'll bring a band full of Nashville's very best musicians. If you want mellow background music, I'll bring myself and a guitar. Acoustic, full band, or anything in between, you've got it. Let me know exactly what you’re looking for and we can make it happen.

Zach Cornell comes from a town of just under 2,000 in the Texas Panhandle. From an early age, he found himself riding along in his dad's pickup to deliver feed to various ranches around the Panhandle. That's where Zach was first exposed to country music. The Hank Jr. and Charlie Daniels CDs that lived in that old pickup lit a fire for music that colored outside the lines. Those records made it clear that he'd never be content with listening to over-polished top 40 radio. Instead, he'd spend his time seeking out less mainstream artists with more authentic sounds.

Fast forward to today, and he knows as many Haggard and Jones tunes as the older generations, along with a good helping of likes of Otis Redding, Tom Petty, Jim Croce and more. Had he been born in a different time, his originals would have likely found a place on a country record released in the 70s or 90s. He isn't living in the past - just writing what he knows and what he believes country music ought to sound like. Zach hasn't hit 30 years yet, but that hasn't kept him from honky-tonking his way across Texas, Tennessee and everywhere in between.

These days, Zach lives with his wife, kids, and dogs in Nashville. He 'pays the bills' performing a mix of Lower Broadway cover gigs, corporate parties, and weddings. When he's not playing with his band of seasoned professionals or co-writing with other local up-and-comers, he's likely on the road back to Texas to perform at one of his favorite places.
