Formed in Gillingham (south-east UK) in 2020, The Zac Schulze Gang are an electrifying blues-rock trio built on the playing of front man Zac Schulze, joined by bassist Ant Greenwell and drummer Ben Schulze. The gang create their signature sound by blending rock and blues with influences from punk, funk, country, jazz, soul, metal and pop.
As one of the hardest working bands in the country, they have toured and shared the bill with artists such as Samantha Fish, Jesse Dayton, Eddie 9V, Nine Below Zero, Aynsley Lister, Band of Friends and The Cinelli Brothers.
Over the last two years they have won the UK Blues Emerging Band of the Year award and Young Artist of the Year 2025, plus headlined the Rory Gallagher Tribute Festival in Ballyshannon. With a debut studio album on the horizon in 2025, the Zac Schulze Gang are setting up to be a future powerhouse of their genre.
When we started working on this Blues & Jazz week, there was one local band which consistently got recommended to us and that band is The 2:19. And we’re delighted they were free to add support to this line-up with The Zac Schulze Gang.
