With Zach Gilliam of the Soul Thieves
The Soul Thieves started back in 2010 or 1011. It's not certain which. Zach Gilliam had been gigging as a guitarist, and found the people he was working with to be a bit unreliable, and the work as a guitar-for-hire was inconsistent.
He thought it stemmed from a lack of a real sense of unity and thought he'd do his own singing, start his own band.
"It originally started as an acoustic duo (with Hank Parks)," Gilliam said, "We wanted to expand our sound. I knew a drummer (Rusty Dodd), and that's how it got started.
Gilliam has known affiliations with local young entrepreneur Jack Simon, and it all started when, "I was with some friends at a party at some frat house on Brister," Gilliam said. According to him, he heard the siren call of the Chinese Dub Embassy's reggae, and wafted over like Tom Cat smelling a pie. He wasn't smacked in the face with a pan however, he was simply greeted warmly by home-owner Simon and the other party-goers. Cops ultimately came, but it didn't tear a seam in the new relationship. Quite the contrary, the two became closer, and have worked with each other since.
