At long last, Zanne Mack is ready to unleash her dynamic style. She brings with her a special flavor seasoned by her many experiences from living & playing all over the country.Funk'n roots blues rocker, Zanne has performed with and/or opened for such talents as Queen of the Blues, Koko Taylor & Her Blues Machine, Buddy Guy, Bruce Springsteen, Marshall Tucker Band, Hank Williams Jr., Garth Brooks, Delbert McClinton, Tinsley Ellis, Harvey Mandel, Bryan Lee & the Jump Street Five, B.B. King's King Bees, Chicago greats, J.W. Williams & the Chi-Town Hustlers, Charlie Love & the Silky Smooth Band, Howard Scott & the World Band, Billy Branch & the Sons of Blues, Jon MacDonald, Detroit Jr., Andre Taylor & the Cruisin Blues Machine, Melvin Taylor, Eddie King & the Swamp Bees, Eddie Burks, John Primer & the Real Deal, Vance Kelly, & Michael Coleman & the Backbreakers, whose release “You Can't Take What I Got” includes songs written by Zanne including the title track “You Can't Take What I Got” & “May I Have This Chance With You”.
John Anthony Brisbin, a freelance writer, (ie; Living Blues Magazine), upon hearing Zanne perform live in Chicago writes “The ache and passion she wrings from standards like 'Summertime', 'Unchain My Heart', and 'Since I Fell For You' leave no heart in the room untouched.”
As quoted from the San Francisco Art Magazine, Jesai writes “For lovers of New Orleans style R&B, newcomer Zanne Mack is just the ticket…her cd is full of a hot down and dirty delta feel. Mack's vocal style is that raw, from the soul blues style that has been used with great success by such greats as Janis Joplin and Etta James…Her solo slide guitar work and story songs evoke visions of life in old timey cabins on the bayou or the devil drinking jugs of moonshine in some far off mountain range…Keep an eye out for her!”
Rev. Alan B. says... She is a skillful song-writer, a tough blues guitarist, and has this amazing soulful voice. I like to call it "fine sandpaper oiled with Southern Comfort". She rocks hard, but can bring tears to your eyes and a chill to your spine! Lunar Groove is a hip, cookin' band!
Zanne has performed throughout the United States playing clubs, festivals, live radio spots, museums, front porches, and backyard barbecues. She has also performed in Canada. Zanne has been awarded “upcoming blues master” of the Celestial Order of Musicians by the Black American Blues Historical Society of Canada.
Zanne now has her own cd with nine of the eleven songs being original. Bluesy, soulful, & funky, “Zanne” was produced by Zanne Mack, Benjamin Newell, Kevon Smith, & Myron Mu. It is on The Saloon Recordings label & distributed by City Hall Records.
You may contact Zanne for more information or booking by calling 415-215-5111 emailing zannemack@hotmail.com
