The Zac Schulze Gang

Blues/Rock  |  Seated+Standing

Known for their old-school blend of 70s classic blues rock and modern alternative influences, the Kent-based band have steadily built a loyal following who are fans of energetic, raw-to-the-bone live shows. Their exciting sound combines classic British R&B with punk energy, great musicianship, and dynamite.

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.

Fronted by guitarist/vocalist Zac Schulze and backed up by bassist Anthony Greenwell and drummer Ben Schulze; the Gang’s sound and work ethic harks back to the much-loved live dynamic and relentless touring schedules of 70s icons including Rory Gallagher and Dr Feelgood. Their unique sound also embodies elements of heritage classic rock acts including AC/DC and Thin Lizzy, while giving a firm salute to contemporary influences like Royal Blood and Queens of the Stone Age.

The Gang have made lasting impressions at esteemed festivals including Eric Clapton's Crossroads in LA, Planet Rock's Winter End in 2023 and Fairport's Cropredy Festival, and the Rory Gallagher Tribute Festival in Ballyshannon where the band first exploded onto the scene.

The Zac Schulze Gang won 'UK Emerging Artist of the Year’ at the UK Blues Awards 2024 and followed this by winning “Young Artist of the Year” at the UK Blues Awards 2025. With sold out shows in Netherlands, Germany, and most recently sold-out shows on their first headline UK tour, it’s clear the band are going places. Forthcoming headline festival appearances include Rory Gallagher Festival in Ballyshannon, Ireland, and the UK’s Broadstairs Blues Bash.

After earning a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in the country, they are now touring internationally across the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe and North America. 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.

The gang have been nominated multiple times in both the 2023 and 2024 UK Blues Awards, winning the UK Blues Emerging Band of the Year award for 2024. They were also invited to play at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival 2023 in Los Angeles and made an appearance at Fairport's Cropredy Convention in 2024 to large acclaim.
