Zach is a great interviewer who truly lives and loves the music scene. And it really shows in the way he able to relate and get his guests to open up. Love being a fly on the wall on these conversations!

This show gets better and better. Love how intimate and creative Z’s interview style is- gets to the heart of things and a really honest picture into a creative person’s life where music plays a starring role. And the musical performance at the end is magical! If you love music and art, give it a listen.

My band Laney Lou and the Birds Dogs has been cruising through all of the episodes of Show on the Road since we discovered it a couple of years ago. There’s nothing more inspiring than listening to people you know or wish you knew talking about things we can deeply relate to as a touring band. Show on the Road covers every topic of a traveling musician, from great venues and memorable gigs to the worst gas station stops or divey hotels. Two of our favorite episodes were with John McCrea from CAKE and with Dave Simonett from Trampled by Turtles. Thanks for keeping us entertained Z!

I’ve listened to easily 40-50 of Zach’s interviews and I’ve learned something knew and been inspired in every episode. We often listen in the car on family road trips and particularly love discovering new artists like Larkin Poe and Sammy Rae and the Friends. We’ve also gotten to know better other artists that we’ve been playing for years like Shovels and Rope, Keb Mo, and JD McPherson. He reveals so many insights about each artist in an entertaining way on his show that you can’t help but like them, Zach, and his incredible band Dustbowl Revival even more!

Thoughtful conversations will amazingly curated artists. Incredible perspective from a touring artist that brings out some really interesting topics very naturally.

Being a musician, I’m always looking for ways to stoke the fire. Music podcasts are always a great to do just that. With recently discovering Dustbowl Revival, I’m a huge fan. Really love how Zach delves into deep conversations with other musicians about music and their process. Stoked to dive deep and delve into the catalog.

Great conversations that dig beyond the surface. Great selection of guests, too

Zac is a great curator, mixing it up with artists from different genres and generations. He’s introduced me to a range of musicians and deepened my appreciation of artists I already knew. His conversations are wonderful explorations of the communal humanity and individuality of music. Bravo! And a warm shoutout to his band- Dustbowl Revival - first introduced to me years ago at the Rhythm & Roots Festival in Bristol, VA. Great venue and wide range of musical talents!

With lot of other podcasts I will fast forward through the host's pre interview blah, blah, blah, but Zac's intros and insight are great to listen to. A really good podcast.

Interesting interviews, great music. Take a listen - its my fav go to Podcast to learn more about the artists and Zac and DustBowl Revival.

This is an amazing podcast for discovering new artists and getting to know in-depth details from artists you already love. Zach is a thoughtful interviewer and really brings the best out each artist he talks to. This is a must listen for music lovers!

Zach blends his skills as a deep thinker, a writer, and a musician, that results in a truly entertaining and inspiring podcast! I constantly learn about new bands through Show on the Road, and I appreciate the unique glimpse Zach facilitates into the artists’ creative process through his interviews. The intros are especially poetic. Definitely worth subscribing!

I came here for Larkin Poe, but I’ll definitely be sticking around!! Great interviewing skills, actually interesting questions, and wonderful production skills. Can’t wait to hear more!

A great show that has interesting conversations! It taps into an artist’s inspirations, their process, and WHY??? It also has a great variety of musical genres represented!

Wandered upon this following a trail from Smithsonian Folkways to learn about an unfamiliar artist and found a treasure trove of interviews with artists new and familiar. Nice format, combo of back stories and artistic inspirations from featured guests. Can’t wait to hear more.

I love being introduced to new musicians as well as visiting with some of my musical heroes. This show gets down into it with thoughtful questions and the ability to listen to the answers.

Good stories and interviews... great concept allowing touring musicians to talk of back-stories.

Quality Interviews, to the point, with interesting subjects. I’m hooked.

I saw The Dustbowl Revival with Hotclub of Cowtown in March 2019 Enjoyed it a lot. I then discovered this podcast which has a good balanced conversation. No hype.

This is a great inside look at what it’s like to be a touring musician. Intimate conversations and performances mixed with lighthearted banter about life on the road.

Zach brings a fresh format to the musician interview, with a friendly, humorous, unpretentious style that brings out some truly amazing storytelling. Top quality musicians dish on everything from their worst gig or hotel room ever to their dream festival lineup. Zach also gives us a peek into their creative process live with free word association and timed writing exercises. The song at the end is the cherry on top!

Well done. And what a great idea! I love the concept of the mobile studio and recording interviews at the festivals. When Tim O’Brien was playing I think I could hear the sounds of the festival in the background. For me this was a plus and made it the podcast more authentic.

I love the insight from musicians! Their stories from the road!

Zach has settled into a nice groove with his interviews of Americana artists as he crosses paths with them at festivals and on the road with his band Dustbowl Revival. He has the ability to engage other musicians through his experiences and allows the artists to provide insights into their creative processes, influences, and a look into their life on the road. I’ve enjoyed his interviews and the song at the end of the interview is like tasty frosting on a piece of cake (chocolate of course).

Love this podcast, wonderful host.

Really enjoy this show. In-depth interviews with great artists. It’s interesting to hear from artists about their lives on the road.

The interviews are authentic and feature compelling artists from across the bluegrass/roots/blues spectrum. Lots of funny moments mixed with insights into the creative process of artists. Highly recommend!

Love ZL. Love BGS. Love Dustbowl. Love that this exists!

Whether or not you’re familiar with Z from Dustbowl Revival, there’s something you should know: he’s got a knack for evocative narratives and lively storytelling. Thankfully, his approach as an interviewer is no different. SOTR already seems like a ripe showcase for bands of various levels/sounds, and these cozy chats offer a fresh, intimate glimpse at the folks behind the tunes. Meet your next favorite band here. 🤘🏼

Live music (and dancing to it) is my favorite experience in life. In fact, I’m currently on a cross country road trip specifically to attend festivals, check out thriving music scenes, and camp in beautiful locations. I travel solo with my pup, so long stretches of driving often lead to podcast binge listening. Finding this podcast is like a dream come true! The questions Zach has for the musicians he interviews are unique, personal and often amusing. He touches on topics that I’ve never heard mentioned in typical interviews... a whole new perspective... probably because he, himself is an experienced touring musician. The Wild Reeds episode — I loved the exercise with the notebooks. Such a great way to spark creativity! The Shook Twins episode — how fascinating it was that the sisters responded to so many ‘first thought’ questions simultaneously with identical answers! I’m anxiously awaiting episode 3! Thank you so much, Zach for this superb & insightful entertainment! - Gretchen Stuart

I expected an interesting podcast where musicians talk amongst themselves, and I sit with ears perked, removed from the scene. However, I was sucked in. Zach is a great interviewer. The questions were witty and thought provoking. And who knew, I’d get several artist-exercise moments just from listening. I’m walking away with a short story and the verse 1 of a song I started, just from Zach’s amazing prompts. The guests are solid musicians and interesting folk, and from a girl who likes her podcasts, this is well produced and Zach has a good voice for this podcast world. New favorite for this new fan!!

Really enjoyed the first episode and look forward to more! Z does a great job crafting questions that open up topics and ideas not heard in the typical band interview. The perfect podcast for musicians, aspiring musicians and people who sang a lot in high school and now only perform at karaoke bars (<— me).

If you like listening to what artists think, all the thoughts that go through their head, this podcast is for you. I can’t wait to hear more!! Thanks Zach! Keep on keepin on! -Andy @thisprophoto
