After a half dozen bands
and a decade of experience in the music business, Zack
Walther has finally emerged as a solo artist supported
by his new band The Cronkites. Based out of New
Braunfels, Texas, Zack Walther and the Cronkites have
begun to turn heads and quickly gain popularity in the
few months they have been playing together. The band’s
first recording Death of Rodger: Vol. 1 contains six of
Zack’s best-written songs that will surely captivate
listeners from all musical genres. “ It was a very long
recording process this time,” says Zack, “but I wanted
to make sure it was perfect. This is the best recording
I have ever been apart of, and I’m extremely proud of
it.” Death of Rodger: Vol. 1 has guest performances from
Susan Gibson, Kim Deschamps, and a duet with Claire
Cunningham on a re-recorded “Wrapped for Me.” Release
date for Death of Rodger: Vol. 1 is set for September
19th, 2006. Vol. 2 and Zack’s first full-length album
Can You Hear Me Now are not far behind, so stay tuned.
From an early age, Zack
Walther knew the center stage spotlight was where he wanted
to be. Participating in competitive school choirs, both
intermediate and collegiate, revealed to Zack his passion
and talent for music. Eventually, this passion lead Zack to
reach higher levels, and he soon found himself determined on
the rough road of an aspiring performing musician.
At the age of thirteen, Zack bought his first guitar and
began playing with long time friend and former band mate
Matthew Briggs. What started out as a garage band project
eventually lead to various bands of all different genres
ranging from alternative rock to country. As Zack continued
to grow and mature in his music endeavors, he began a new
adventure into songwriting. His experiences with so many
different musical styles helped form the unique and
attractive writing styles Zack executes today.
While attending Southwest Texas State University, Zack and
Matthew teamed up with Stephanie Macious-Briggs to form the
band Rodger Wilko. They recorded three albums of award
worthy material, and developed a loyal fan base throughout
Texas and Oklahoma. During this time, Zack’s original song
“Too Far From Home,” from the album Homemade, was awarded
“Song of the Year” by MyTexasMusic.com. After years of being
together, Rodger Wilko decided to separate and approach the
music world in two different directions.
