   About Jacob Zachary
Born on the rice fields of Jennings, LA by the west bank of the Mississippi River, Jacob Zachary let down his roots in the fertile grounds of the Deep South and eventually learned of stories beneath the soil. His songs stir them out like snakes and spiders from beneath the cold underbelly of stones in a dry creek bed. Inspired by Edgar Lee Masters' epitaph poems in the Spoon River Anthology, the collected agrarian essays of Wendell Berry, and the prevailing influence of his church upbringing under the preaching of his father, Zachary is a southern poet, a truckstop storyteller, haunted by the Holy Ghost. Zachary got his start at an early age while living with friends and going to school in Virginia. He has since moved back home to Baton Rouge where he hopes to let another dream take root. An independent folk film project: a documented personal journey up and down the Mississippi River from the gulf all the way to Lake Itasca in Minnesota and back again. ..

Yeah man that sounds great. I think were going to do a pick party night here at my house sometime next month. We'll keep you posted. The date is tentatively set for November 6th, but that's subject to change.

Mr. Zachary. We are still anticipation your trip to GA, or should we all just rendezvous somewhere else? What is the word on what you are up to these days? Lukes voice just got well after a 2 month hiatus and we have started working on some new material. Give us an update.

Hi there! We've got a new EP that we're especially proud of called Summer which is the second in our series of seasonal EPs this year. We'd love for you to listen to the EP online, and to do so, just go to indiecater.com. If you like what you hear, we'd be very grateful if you'd support our efforts by buying the EP for €2.50 (around $3.20). Hope all is going great for you. Thanks for being our friend!

Yeah, I was there. I've seen you play at another art show before, and I was excited when Olivia said that you may have been playing at her show, as well. I really enjoyed the set. I hope to see you again soon, and maybe I can get a hold of a CD this time. (I didn't have cash money on me Friday night night.)

Hello Cousin Jacob! i hope your Thanksgiving holidays were swell. i hope all is well with the musical production of yourself. i hope all is well with your current occupation as well! i also have hoped that you have fallen upon the myspace of the band of the friend i called mine, Benjamin Kimsal. he would greatly adore if his name was spread throughout the Baton Rouge population, as well as his comrades who are along with him in the musical band. good tidings be to you! love, your cousin, Taylor. (insert accent on last syllable rather than that of the first).

I think terry and I may both be coming in town the weekend of the 18th. If so we should chill for sure.
About the show, what would the possibilities of having it at the new church be? Just a thought. We were hoping to have it some place chill. Let us know what you think.
