Zach Caruso Body & Soul CD

Zach Caruso is a guitarist/singer/songwriter from southern New Jersey. His love of music began at an early age after acts like Green Day and The Black Crowes sparked his interest in the guitar. Completely self-taught, he began singing and writing his own original music by the age of 14. Zach's musical tastes began to mature, and so did the music he wrote. Acts such as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Joe Bonamassa re-fueled his love of guitar as well as peaked his interest in older style classic rock/blues music, while performers like Ben Harper and The John Butler Trio opened his eyes to new genres.Many of his songs hearken back to the older days of rock music, while others have a fresh new style, and others still are difficult to classify. One thing is for sure; his wide range of musical influences has given him the tools to try his hand at an assortment of different musical styles. A senior at Rowan University, Zach has continued on with his love of writing as a Journalism major, and has written numerous sports articles for local papers. But his passion still lies with music, and his songwriting continues to grow and develop. At 21, Zach has now hit his stride. His eclectic blend of musical styles and influences sets him apart from his peers, and he refuses to be pigeonholed into any one specific genre. His love of electric, acoustic, and slide guitar has allowed him to create a variety of fresh sounds that differ, but are still unique to his style.
