Zack Keim is a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter from Pittsburgh, PA, whose soulful melodies and introspective lyrics have captivated audiences worldwide. From 2022 to 2025, he embarked on an extensive tour across the U.S. and Europe, bringing his unique sound to fans everywhere. Known for his electrifying live shows, Keim has shared the stage with legendary artists such as Peter Case (The Nerves/Plimsouls), indie icon Calvin Johnson (Beat Happening/ K Records), JD Wilkes (Legendary Shack Shackers), Marty Wilson Piper (The Church), Evan Westfall (Caamp), and acclaimed indie songwriter Matt Costa.
His standout track, “Better Days”, has earned rave reviews, with Sirius XMU calling it a “fun, fuzzy, classic.” Keim is set to captivate fans with a performance, showcasing songs from his much-anticipated new album, “Battery Lane” out now.
Armed with a 6-string, a harp rack and a stack of songs that harken back to the wrought folk rock of yesteryear, Max Niemann packs a punch that is as heartfelt as it is biting. Roaming a sonic trail blazed by country punks and folk poets immemorial, pre-Dylan on up through Tweedy, Niemann follows in the footsteps of the American troubadour lineage, propelling it into the present with songs that are as likely to strike a chord with the modern metropolitan as they are the lonesome wanderer. With his ever-evolving band of Fellow Travelers at his side, the group provides rustic backdrops for the hard-nosed yet intimate stories of human joy, suffering and striving that occupy Niemann’s songs.
Over the last few years, much of Niemann’s focus has been dedicated to fronting his rock ‘n’ roll band, Diet Lite, whose sharp wit and electrically energetic live sets have garnered the band a dedicated following across the Midwest and beyond. As he begins to ramble out in a new direction, Niemann’s performances tap into much of the same passion, though here the songs are stripped down to their bare essence. His first single, “Nowhere You Am”, a solo performance by Niemann, is out now. Max & The Fellow Travelers are currently recording their debut EP.
