About Us

ZWB is a Rock n Roll band from Sacramento, CA comprised of Zach Waters, Grayson Roberts, and Alex Parker. By bringing their passion through high energy performances and angsty rock n roll reminiscent of the classics, ZWB creates a raw experience that allows people to escape from the day to day. Influenced by artists that have spawned a generation of head banging party rockers, ZWB hopes to their mark on Rock & Roll. This power trio has performed all across the West Coast since 2016, and has plans to venture nationally. ZWB has shared the stage with Dokken, Y&T, LA Guns, Pat Travers, Enuff Znuff, James Durbin, Tommy Castro, Albert Cummings, Frank Hannon of Tesla, Gretchen Menn, Switchfoot, Rehab, and many others. As of 2023, the band released their debut studio album “Up & Running” produced by Michael Rosen (Journey, Santana, Eddie Money, Papa Roach, Rancid, etc), also featuring musicians from The Counting Crowes, Smash Mouth, G3/Joe Satriani, etc. They are currently touring the west coast in support of the new album.
