Milwaukee based Americana steeped the Zach Pietrini Band has become a heartland rock staple over the last few years. With a sound heavily influenced by the likes of David Ramirez, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, these guys know how to put on a show (Best Live Act In Milwaukee- Mil Mag). Their last release, Rock & Roll is Dead was lauded by the likes of Milwaukee Record, Music Mecca Nashville, 88nine, Milwaukee Mag, Americana Highways and many other regional publications. It broke into the top 100 on the college and indie charts in 22. The band can boast playing SXSW showcases or featured Summerfest spots or national songwriting contest winning or opening for several national touring acts but it’s Pietrini’s genuine and honest approach to songwriting and the band’s contagious energy that make their live performance one to watch.
“Rock and Roll Is Dead sounds like a departure from his previous aesthetic, if not entirely a rebirth… and makes the argument that Pietrini is ready for larger stages.”
