Zac Clifton is a 20-year-old traditional Country and Country gospel singer and songwriter. He started singing when he was nine and started playing the guitar and writing songs at age 12. After seeing Randy Travis and George Jones in concert at age nine, Zac fell in love with traditional Country songs and knew that he wanted to sing traditional Country music.
He attended a Merle Haggard concert at 13 and was invited on Merle's bus to meet and sing for him. He was blessed to open for Merle several times following their meeting. This was a great turning point for him, enabling him to meet many Country legends. Kris Kristofferson compared Zac's singing and songwriting to that of a "young Hank Williams".

His first album, Honky Tonk Heaven, is Zac's first album and was produced by Grammy-winning musician, producer and arranger Bobby Flores in San Antonio. It includes ten songs written by Zac and one that he co-wrote with his good friend, Matt Engelhardt.
He quickly followed that album with his first Country gospel album, Come To The Cross, filled with ten Country gospel selections also written by Zac.
Zac believes that by recording both albums, he is carrying the torch that keeps Traditional Country and Country Gospel Music alive. Once you hear this young man, you will certainly agree.
