Zach Seibert (E.Z. Shakes) sat down with kendallprojects to discuss music, life and grace to give us some insight into how it all started and play a song off his newest album The Wolf, Kerosene. E.Z. Shakes (a.k.a. Zach Seibert) rests securely among the giants of the singer songwriter genre. Born with the birthright and marinated in the mud of the deep South, Shakes' musical roots inch their way down and deep in the substratum of American folk music, which in his own way, he mixes up and serves with a splash of Country Western. Shakes' writing is never tired or cliche in content. He offers up something fresh and honest, gritty and gutsy in an industry saturated in the synthetic. Much of his music has an air of melancholy that rests easy over melodic swells and could serenade even the most cynical into entering the mire that is the human condition. Working his craft through narrative, each song tells a story rather than making a statement. With guitar in hand, a weathered voice and minimal accompaniment, Shakes seems to transcend the expectation and set the standard for autobiographical songwriting.

“Rock N Roll was an escape for me while I played football. I used it as motivation while participating in sports but more importantly it created a venue for fantasy about past and future glory both on the football field and in my life. Often I thought about the Rock God’s guitar solo acting as a soundtrack for my life. In addition to the solo I thought my admiration for the Rock God allowed me an excuse to escape. My version of a Rock God existed both in a fantasy world in my mind and as a role model for my escapism. I indulged in the Rock God lifestyle, which consisted of numerous parties where drugs and alcohol were just the foundation of the debauchery that I participated in throughout most of my football career to numb any emotion that caused anxiety surrounding my role as a football player.
