Zach Gill is a singer-songwriter who fronts the indie folk band Jack's Mannequin. He's known for songs like "Back in the Day," which became a breakout single for him. The band's music tends toward introspective lyrics with folk, rock, and pop elements, and Gill's vocals often feature a distinctive falsetto.
In 2005, Gill was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological condition that left him temporarily paralyzed. He continued writing and making music during that period. Some critics have found his lyrical content overly sentimental, but he's generally been unapologetic about the emotional directness in his work.
His discography includes albums like The Sunset Tree (2008), People and Things (2011), Jack's Mannequin III (2013), and Dark Nights of the Soul (2018). Other songs in his catalog include "Fine Wine," "Handy Man," and "Don't Touch My Stuff."
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
