Zach Carney offers a solo set blending modern pop, soul, and singer-songwriter covers on the Hyatt Regency Austin Outdoor Patio.
Zach Carney plays the Hyatt Regency Austin on Friday, August 28, starting at 6 PM. He's performing a solo set on the hotel's outdoor patio, and the music pulls from a few different places: modern pop, soul, and singer-songwriter covers. It's a solo outing, so it's just him and his instrument, and the mix of pop and soul covers means you'll likely recognize a good chunk of the set.
Carney is a songwriter, musician, and performer from New Braunfels, and he writes his own material alongside the covers. One of his songs, "Golden Illusions," gets into the idea of chasing the things we think will finally make us whole, only to find that fulfillment wasn't waiting at the finish line. It's the kind of songwriting that sits closer to the singer-songwriter side of the bill than the pop covers, and it gives you a sense of where he's coming from as a writer.
Between the original songs and the covers, the set covers a fair amount of ground. The pop and soul influence points toward the more melodic, vocal-driven side of things, while the singer-songwriter material keeps it grounded. Since it's a solo set, the focus stays on the voice and the songwriting rather than a full band sound.

It's an outdoor show, so you'll be listening on the Hyatt Regency Austin's patio rather than inside a club. The set kicks off at 6 PM on Friday, August 28, at 208 Barton Springs Rd.
