Porch Social – Zac Diedrich

Zachary “Zac” Thomas Diedrich from Stapleton, AL, has been forging his own brand of music for over 20 years.  Blending the styles of traditional country, blues, roots, alternative rock, classic rock, Americana, folk, pop, and jazz, Zac creates an exciting raw new sound while maintaining a respect for timeless traditions.

We could talk all day about his influences and the musical spectrums he has explored over the years, but it all comes down to Love.  Zac’s passion for delivering healing within his music is what truly drives him in his life’s work.  One of the goals in his songwriting process is to convey his message so simply that the words write themselves in the listeners mind before the words are even sung.

“Deja-vu” would be a good way to describe the feeling Zac harnesses in his music.  His music brings comfort to his audience by reminding them that they are not alone no matter the struggle they are facing.  He has grown an organic following that has been supporting him from the very beginning of his musical journey and they are always eager to hear his new songs and stories.

Zac has performed in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and even in the Virgin Islands.  Independently, he has released five albums from 2007-2018 and is eager to take his music to the next level with a series of singles and another album coming soon.

Additionally, Zac has performed at the world famous Flora-Bama in Gulf Shores for eight years.  He has become a member of The Last Honky Tonk Music Series, plus opened for David Alan Coe, Dallas Moore, Kyle Wilson and Branden Martin.

Zac has over 2,000 performances to date including with the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival, Mississippi Songwriters Festival, Meridan Songwriters Festival, Black Warrior Songwriters Festival, River Rounds Songwriters Festival, Horsepens 40 Songwriters Festival including consecutive years at Third Street Songwriters Festival, Muddy Roots Festival and Manitowoc Metro Jam.
