Most folks think you need a million dollars in lights to make a crowd roar. They are wrong. On a quiet night in Nashville, a young man with a tucked-in shirt and a guitar walked onto the most famous stage in town.
There were no backup tracks or loud drums to hide behind. It was just Zach Top and the truth. When he started playing ‘I Never Lie.’
He sang about a heart that was not quite over a girl. You could see his fingers moving fast on the guitar strings playing his own lead parts like the legends used to do.
