Album Notes

You'll go ape for the boss sounds of Smashed Hits! Optically challenged rocker Zachary Stevenson fires on all cylinders with his voice, guitar, piano and sax - smashing your favorite hits out of the park in a smokin' performance that'll razz your berries!

Coined by the press as a "Dead Ringer for Dead Singers", Zach has been performing music all his life. Also an accomplished actor, he's been recruited by theatres across Canada to perform in musicals that require musicianship. He has played acoustic guitar in "Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave", electric guitar in "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story" and piano in "Fire" based on the life of Jerry Lee Lewis. Due to popular demand, Zach has finally cut a record that captures the energy of his theatrical performances while staying true to that old school sound of the originals.
