Live from Tavern in the Gruene with Zack Walther & the Cronkites
by Keith Howerton
 On March 9th and 10th in Gruene Texas it is very possible that a piece of music history was made. The double night live recording of Zack Walther and the Cronkites was magical. In music the “vibe” is often was separates “great” from “average” and on both of these nights a performance was delivered by one of the best and tightest bands in Texas that was beyond the line of spiritual. There is no way to describe the vibe of both of those nights in words, but the buzz is already starting in Austin and around the state in music industry circles about the powerful nature of the tracks that were laid down on those two magical nights. Zack and his band broke all attendance records both nights with over 400 at each show. In fact, on the second night Zack drew 430 people, and that was with the Eli Young Band performing at Gruene Hall only 800 yards away. Those are big attendance numbers for New Braunfels. Many bands and artists that have regular names in Texas music started with a live record. The ever-humble Walther is taking it in stride and hoping for a good record that people will like as he and his band take it to the road one stage at a time. With one of the most distinctive voices in music that some have described as the Texas’ Bruce Springsteen, Zack and his band are bound to change things and win fans in 2007 and beyond.
