Zach Alexander
Worldwide
I’m Zach Alexander, an artist and musician based in the Atlanta area. Often compared to Michael Buble, John Mayer, and Jason Mraz stylistically, I combine an eclectic mix of classic songs from a variety of decades and genres with a relaxing, coffeehouse jazz influenced approach that will perfectly complement your next event in a way that is subtle yet engaging. I am a regular performer at St. Regis, Waldorf Astoria, Intercontinental Buckhead, and Atlanta Apparel, and play at corporate events for various hotels throughout the Atlanta area such as the Whitley, The W, and the Ritz Carlton. as well as dozens of galas, clubs, and wedding venues. This year, I performed for Arthur Blank’s Super Bowl party with Lilac Wine Trio in New Orleans, and just 2 months later, was invited to perform a solo acoustic set for The Masters and its VIP guests at an event sponsored by IBM in Augusta. I have a complete audio setup and an diverse musical repertoire that will satisfy virtually any demographic. Please feel welcome to reach out and discuss your performance needs so that fill your event with tasteful acoustic arrangements of the classic songs we all know and love.
