Zack has returned from his summer in Maine. Welcome him back at Mean Deans this Thursday!

Since 2023, he has toured internationally, earned a Blues Blast Band of the Year nomination (2019), and appeared on their latest album, Groovin' at Groove Now.


Beyond the band, Zack performs solo, blending electric guitar, harmonica, vocals, and foot percussion to deliver classic blues and original tunes. 


At Mean Deans, it's also Thirsty Thursday. Enjoy Happy Hour specials all day! Come before 6pm to enjoy our $15.9 Fall Sunset Menu.


Reservations are recommended. Please use our online system to book. Make sure you have the correct date and number of people in your party. In the "Specials Requests" section please write "Music" and we'll seat you in that room.
