“Blessed with a laser-sharp ear for melody and considerable keyboard chops,” (Casey Rea, Seven Days), 19-year-old Zac Clark has spent the past few months winning over audiences across the east coast, taking the stage at clubs like Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, RI, Paradise and Avalon in Boston, MA, and making a sold out appearance at Higher Ground in Burlington, VT, sharing the stage with artists like Teddy Geiger (Columbia Records), Ben Jelen, Augustana (Epic Records) and Gomez (ATO Records), all in support of his new EP, Ellipsis, produced by Mike Poorman (ex-Hot Rod Circuit, Vagrant Records) and released in conjunction with Ten Pin Management (Paul Westerberg, New York Dolls.) The five-song disc, on which Zac plays every instrument, is “packed with hooks and heart-on-sleeve poetics,” and the live show, featuring touring veterans Mike Poorman and Daryl Rabidoux on drums and bass, is as energetic and engaging as they come. Hailed as a “top-flight pop-rock piano player” by the Burlington Free Press and compared to Ben Folds and Elvis Costello by Seven Days, you wont want to miss out on Zac's blend of piano pop sensibility with indie rock and punk influences.

Nice, Im glad your doing the east coast again, but your making me drive all the way down to boston (from NH) to see you... still worth it though. Congrats on all your success!
