Bio
Zachariah Hickman was raised by two lovely parents in Lynchburg, VA, home of both televangelist Jerry Falwell and the C.B. Fleet enema company. An average piano student as a child, he was of above-average height, and was switched the tuba at the tender age of 12. Frequent bouts with marching bands followed. He became aware of the bass as an instrument in the fourth grade, picked to act as Guns and Roses' bassist Duff McKagan in a talent show lip-sync to "Patience." He would acquire an electric bass years later, five months after committing himself as the bassist in his first band, Mahogany Firewood. They were terrible. During his high school years, Zack put out records he recorded on his Fostex four-track for his own Ceramic Lady Music label, and started to play other instruments, mainly guitar and harmonica. At some point he discovered the acoustic bass, studying with local guru Ed Mikenas, and cutting his teeth for years at awkward jazz summer camps. He is the only graduate from the now-defunct Virginia School of the Arts jazz program. These studies eventually lead him to the Oberlin College and Conservatory of Music, where in 2001 he graduated with a BM in Jazz Double Bass performance and a BA in English literature. There he studied with bassist Peter Dominguez, and met and performed with any number of incredible musicians and teachers. Zack and his friend Josh Ritter made their first recording during Zack's freshman year, and play together to this day. During his college years Zack made records with lots of student bands and local artists, lived abroad in Dublin for a semester, made a Moby Dick hat, and produced a full-length circus. Immediately after college Zack performed as part of the Jazz Aspen Snowmass festival, run by bassist Christian McBride. He then relocated to the Boston area, where he currently resides. Zack spends his time as a bassist and multi-instrumentalist for local and national acts of all sorts, playing rock and roll, bluegrass, jazz, and most anything that comes his way. He is on tour for most of the year. He also plays a variety of instruments (in varying degrees of competency), from the lap steel to the ukulele to the pump organ. In his spare time, Zack enjoys growing handlebar mustaches and sneaking into movies. He is forever indebted to the great friends and musicians in his life, most of whom are both. -

I moustache you a question........
but I'm shavin' it for later.
When I grow up I wish to harvest a moustache as impressive as yours. And by grow up, I mean at least ninety years from now, when facial-hair implants become more affordable, and an old-lady with an elaborate moustache is considered adorable!
I'll let you know how it goes.
