ZACH JOHN KING: GET TO DRINKIN' TOUR
About This Event
Zach John King brings songs that combine roots-minded lyricism and alt-rock intensity to Mercury Lounge as part of his Get to Drinkin' Tour, framing country through direct, narrative songwriting informed by his Fayetteville, Georgia upbringing and a family of poets. Support comes from Jacob Hackworth, a barroom-country singer-songwriter whose steady delivery and narrative focus suits the room’s close-quarters listening.
About Get to Drinkin' Tour
The “Get to Drinkin’ Tour” brings country singer Zach John King to Mercury Lounge for a live set in Manhattan. Framed for an NYC audience, the show lands in a room better known for indie lineups, marking another moment in the city’s slow, steady expansion of country programming beyond the usual venues. King’s material leans on barroom narrative and everyday detail, built for close listening rather than arena projection. The contrast between genre and setting becomes the night’s quiet point.
