Zach Williams And the Reformation (ZWR), a band based in Jonesboro, Arkansas, rose from the ashes of another local band, Further Down, in 2008. Effectively combining elements of rock and roll, R&B, soul and blues, they quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting new bands to emerge into the southern rock scene.
The driving force of ZWR, the group's soulful vocalist and primary songwriter, Zach Williams, has been described as a hybrid of Joe Cocker, Chris Robinson and Gregg Allman.
