About the Artist
Zach Simms, 'Simba' as he is called by most close friends and peers, is based in the DMV and Eastern Shore of MD, where he grew up captivated by all things musical. While his prime instrument is Guitar, he performs and instructs on Mandolin, Electric Bass, Ukulele, and on the odd occasion, Banjo. While he spent his younger years focused on drinking in most genres, he spent his college years at Salisbury University studying under Master Guitarist Dr. Danielle Cumming, focusing on a more purist form of Classical guitar, and earning a Bachelor of Arts in Sound Engineering.
Between practicing and studying constantly, Simba spends his time a number of ways; Instructing Private Students from his private studio, performing around the DMV, and running live sound, where he has run sound for acts such as Marshall Tucker Band, Styx, Merle Haggard, and many more. He also performs as a gun-for-hire for both the stage, and studio.
When he is not working on music, he is studying different languages, log cabin architecture, and food."
