Bedford, Texas – Arts Council Northeast and the City of Bedford are pleased to welcome Zack King for a free concert on Thursday, April 14 at the Old Bedford School, 2400 School Lane.

Zack King and his band have been performing their unique brand of Texas Rock across the U.S. for over 10 years. In that time they have played with some of the most illustrious superstars in rock and country music. They kicked off their career opening for legendary singer/songwriter Leon Russell and have since performed with the likes of Bon Jovi, Alabama, Chris Cagle, Bret Michaels, Randy Travis, Keith Anderson, Kevin Fowler, Stone Temple Pilots, Tesla, Ronnie Milsap and many more.

The NHL’s Dallas Stars have been using Zack King songs for years both at Dallas’ American Airline Center during home games as well as in advertising and promotion for the team. Most recently, the band’s single “What Do You Say” is being used by CBS Television in Dallas/Fort Worth to promote current programming. Their song “Big Plan In The Southland” is the theme song for CBS’ DFW Outdoorsman featuring former Dallas Cowboy Marcus Spears.

Through the MasterWorks Series, Arts Council Northeast and the City of Bedford present free performances on selected evenings throughout the year. The MasterWorks Series is designed to offer a variety of quality family entertainment to the community by utilizing the talent of local, regional, and national artists.
