HOUSTON – Zach Neil is the 2022 Texas Country Music Association’s Male Artist of the Year and has earned five consecutive Top 40 Texas country singles!

Safe to say it’s not bad for a guy who planned to follow in his dad’s footsteps and become a farmer! Farming was the family business and still is, but when Neil was 16 years old, his country band entered a “Battle of the Bands” competition at their high school and tied for first place.

As he says, it wasn’t because they were the best, but because they were different. While the other kids were playing rock music, his band was playing classic country hits.

He soon found the confidence to apply the work ethic he learned from his family and focus on a career in music.

Zach Neil is a singer, songwriter and live performer who uniquely puts his own twist on traditional country music.

Neil broke into the Texas Music Scene in 2019, and the rest is history!

Watch the video above for his interview and live performance.

His previous Top 40 Texas country singles are: “When She Drinks Whiskey” (2019); “Something In The Stars” (2020); “Half Bad” (2021); and “Long Live The Cowboy” (2022).

His new single, “All The Pretty Horses,” takes us on a journey as horses break loose and run free. “All The Pretty Horses” mixes cinematic drama and heartfelt poetry which is a perfect combination for a hit country song.

Zach will be playing this Sunday May 7th at the Table at Madeley in Downtown Conroe.
