ZACK KEIM x GARDENER

Zack Keim and Gardener bring a night of heartfelt, guitar-driven indie rock and Americana to Songbyrd Music House on Thursday, September 10, 2026. The evening pairs Keim’s solo songwriting with Gardener’s Rust Belt–inspired sound, and both acts are joined by supporting artists The Duskwhales and Stephen Sol (solo). The show is all ages, with doors opening at 7:00 PM, and tickets are available for $15 in advance or $20 at the door.

Keim’s latest album, *Battery Lane*, was released on Super Sport Records, the indie label founded by Evan Westfall of Caamp. The record takes its name from the street where Keim lived during his time in the DC area, drawing on the people and places of that chapter in his life. He kept a busy touring schedule across the US, Europe, and the UK from 2025 into 2026, and his live show has earned him slots at SXSW and opening gigs for artists such as Peter Case, Calvin Johnson, and Matt Costa. His single “Better Days” was singled out by Sirius XMU for its fun, fuzzy, classic feel. Gardener, meanwhile, comes from Yellow Springs, Ohio, where a close group of old friends build vivid sonic landscapes that mix raw Americana with dreamy, country-tinged indie rock. Their music reflects the decay and beauty of Ohio’s Rust Belt, shifting between volatile energy and intimate, meditative moments, and their most recent full-length was produced by Taylor Meier of CAAMP.
