“Georgia native Zack Gruczkowski has been a musician since he was a child. Over the years, he has been active primarily in the Atlanta rock and roll scene, so perhaps we should consider his evolution during and after the pandemic a blessing to all of us in North Georgia.

…“The music bug doesn’t go away. It might fade, but it doesn’t go away. You have to feed it. And there’s an energy you get from other players and from the people you meet…There’s no greater feeling than introducing an original song and getting a positive reaction from the audience.” And speaking of meeting people…Zack immediately comes across as a friend above all else. You can hear the joy and the smile in his voice as you meander through a conversation about music and life and the mountains of North Georgia.

…I’ll be listening to “Talona Spur” often, and appreciating even more the natural beauty that it musically conveys. There’s not a doubt in my mind that the next one will be a keeper, too.”
