Zach Broocke, which is pronounced Zack Brook for those of you who prefer to read aloud, is too young to know exactly what he’s getting into with this whole musician-aritst-singer-songwriter thing, but after all, naive optimism is one of his best traits.
Born in Milwaukee, WI on a blistering June afternoon in 1979, this aspiring singer and songwriter made his way south to Nashville, TN in at the ripe age of twenty-two in pursuit of, in his words, “my marginal- no, average-at-best” music-making talents. Fortunate for him, Nashville’s finest crop of revolving-door musicians beg to differ.

Boasting guitar performances from Kevin Teel (Matthew Ryan and Holly Williams) and Adam Landry (Allison Moorer), Broocke’s debut full-length album holds it’s own in every department- from western hats to golf knickers and boots. Recorded at Bucky Baxter’s studio in Nashville and featuring the Bob Dylan and Ryan Adams band mate on pedal steel, Be Somebody is a finely blended sample of Americana singer-songwriter jam with a hint of butter-flavored pop-rock sensibility. Not to be mistaken for margarine or jelly. Just some home-cooked tunes, making their way to your stereo via an old-fashioned independent release.
