Cello / Bass

Zachary Brown is a NYC-based cellist from Far Rockaway, Queens, trained in both classical and progressive/improvisational music. Using his experience from within these styles, Zach focuses on pushing the boundaries of progressive cello playing through his writing, collaborations, and percussive approach. His band Westbound Situation blends the precision of classical music, the rhythmic drive of bluegrass, and the colorful expression of jazz into a new style of chamber music—chambergrass.

Brown has been a guest artist and instructor at Savannah Music Festival, New Directions Cello Festival, Ithaca Summer Music Academy, and Owens College. Performance highlights include Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Madison Square Garden. Zach has been heard with Turtle Island String Quartet, Terence Blanchard, Queen Latifah, Ashanti, Jadakiss, Black Coffee and numerous gospel artists such as Tye Tribbet, Hezekiah Walker, Donald Lawrence and more. He has also appeared on The Tonight Show with Doechii.
