about

"Sometimes it only takes one song. That's all you need to know that an artist is in your ballpark, musically. If it so happens the first picture you see of them they're wearing a vintage-looking Western shirt with smiley pockets and the kind of snazzy neckerchief that hasn't been even considered stylish attire by country singers since Hank Snow was still on the charts - even better. Oh, and his band is are called The Hillbilly Executives - better still. That's how it was with Zachariah Malachi."

-Country Music People Magazine

lyrics

Well, I wonder if you've been here long or if you just sat down
And I wonder if they've filled you in – I'm the talk of all this town
You may not know the truth 'bout me if you've come from afar
But I'm this local bar's Grand Ole Opry Star
I sing a song of sadness for the love that got away
And I sing a song of romance on a couple's special day
Most are too intoxicated to say that I ain't up to par
'Cause I'm this local bar's Grand Ole Opry Star
And the bottles start a-swayin' in three quarter time, you know
And a drink and a good song will help when you are feeling low
I'm the server of the grandest country music caviar
'Cause I'm this local bar's Grand Ole Opry star
Yes, I'm here in the low places with the rest of all your friends
And I'll croon another drinkin' song like Pop A Top again
This smoky room's a fortress, a hillbilly alcazar
'Cause I'm this local bar's Grand Ole Opry Star
Yes, I'm this local bar's Grand Ole Opry Star

Zachariah Malachi Nashville, Tennessee

A true journeyman to the art of neo-honkytonk music, Zachariah loves to experiment with any and all influences in the name of keeping his favorite genre alive. Born on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan and raised in the cellars of Southern Baptist roots - the fire, brimstone and motor city drive of this honky tonk singer leaves us excited and exhausted, altogether. ... more
