Zach Deputy is such an individual. During the opening band\u2019s set, Deputy casually makes his way through the Culture Room, smiling and hugging anyone who asked him with a big smile on his face.<\/p>\n<p>Now, onto the performance!\u00a0 Deputy has a larger-than-life presence and an astounding beard. He has turned himself into a one-man wrecking crew of a performer. The solo artist is truly a testament to the art of multi-tasking, as he is surrounded by a circular amphitheater of amps and speakers with several instruments sorted about for quick access. His main instrument, the guitar, rests peacefully on his lap as he introduces himself to the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Then it begins. His heavy hand glides across the guitar strings to begin a rampant night of dancing. From the beginning to the end, Deputy engaged the audience into what one could feel was a party, and everyone came to have a good time. I think that is one of the appeals with Deputy besides, the tunes. It is that you can totally see him being one of your friends, in the corner serenading the party with an ice cold beer in hand.<\/p>\n<p>Also, to watch the man masterfully alternate between instruments and carry on with his soulful voice is quite entertaining. Deputy states that his \u201cmusic is for the soul.\u201d And, to some degree it shows. Often, his songs are so catchy and filled with so many hooks that one can\u2019t help to feel it tethering on something ethereal. \u201cInto the Morning\u201d is a prime example. The chorus is something that you find yourself humming hours later. Zach puts on a show that is as entertaining as it is intimate, and with a hearty personality matched with an excellent voice, it made for a good time.<\/p>\n<p>Reviewed by: Justin Roach<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Zach Deputy<\/strong><br \/>\n2\/10\/2011<br \/>\nEvent Rating: \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<br \/>\nVenue: Culture Room (Fort Lauderdale, FL)<\/p>\n<p>There are few people who when they enter any room instantly become the focal point.
