The Music and Poetry of Zach Winters (plus optional pre-show meal)

About Zach Winters

Zach Winters is a gardener of verses. Winters’ songs resonate with the sacred and the commonplace—companionship, wrestling with the divine, passing seasons, and the pursuit of a tangible beauty. His verse often shares a kinship to the poetry of Frost and Tagore. Over the years, Winters has honed his songwriting and DIY approach, while staying true to his homemade yet luxuriant variety of folk. Zach has self-produced eight full-length albums as well as a handful of EPs and other projects, garnering praise from voices like Paste Magazine.

Winters moved his family to southern Mexico for a year for his kids to learn Spanish and to finish the 13-track LP, Love is a Garden. And after cancelling all plans along with the rest of the world in 2020, Zach set to work on a new group of songs that was released in batches through 2021, and culminated in the release of Other Side in 2022.

In the autumn of 2022, Winters began writing what would become a collection of 100 poems, called Snowmelt to Roots, and a new album called Shade of Indigo (April 24, 2024).

Zach has toured throughout the US, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica & Mexico, musically migrating with his family and playing shows with friends in homes and concert halls. He has had the honor to sing for Syrian refugees, laboring mothers, orphans in Mexico, monks in Poland, pubs in Northern Ireland (and Ireland), and his friends, neighbors and family.

His poetry has been published by Inkwell, Rabbit Room, and Fare Forward, and his forthcoming collection of poetry, Today This Is Eden, is expected autumn 2026—his new album, Listener, in spring 2027.

Zach and his family reside among the rolling hills of eastern Oklahoma.

About Front of the Tapestry House Concerts

Front of the Tapestry House Concerts in Cleveland, TN brings together music lovers on both sides of the microphone in an authentic, relaxing home setting where the messy and chaotic back of the tapestry is held at bay by the reminder that there is also a front of the tapestry.

All of our shows are free, not because there is no value, but because there is so much value we don't want to exclude anybody based on finances. At the same time we encourage everyone to be as generous as possible, knowing that all proceeds go directly to our artists. The address will be provided upon registration and in follow up emails as the event gets closer.

As always, we will have food available for anyone who would like to join us for some pre-show hang-out time beginning around 6 pm, with Zach hitting the stage at 7 pm.
