CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. –  The inaugural Z-Fest, Wednesday April 20th features Midwest rockers Shaman’s Harvest at O’Connor’s Irish Pub.

Shaman’s Harvest is led by singer Nathan Hunt who was diagnosed with cancer two years ago and emerged from treatment better than ever.

“There’s a beauty in the grit of us Midwesterners. We work hard, make babies, drink too damn much, and we’re not afraid to rebuild and start over when we get God-smacked,” he said.

The band is now touring to support the album “Smokin’ Hearts & Broken Guns,” which they were making when Hunt was diagnosed with cancer. That album is now high on national Active Rock charts, so their appearance in Clarksville couldn’t come at a better time for fans which usually have to drive to bigger cities to see them live.

Also on the bill for Z-Fest are Failure Anthem, Nashville’s Lights of Marfa, and Romantic Rebel. The rockabilly Hillbilly Casino will finish the night with a set inside.
