Zac McIntyre (Vox, Piano) - The first thing you notice about Zac Mac when you meet him is that he’s really tall – 6’ 10” in fact. Once you get to know him though, you realize that he’s about as down to earth as they get. A 2008 finalist in the Great American Songwriting Contest, he’s an experienced and prolific songwriter, having written over 250 songs. Originally from Maine, Zac moved to Massachusetts in the fall of 2007. He soon formed ZMB and began gigging all over New England. His previous projects include Maine bands North of Nowhere, The High End and Johnny Rainfield.

Jeff Bates (Vox, Bass) - Jeff is a veteran bassist, having played with Furious Norm, Ariel Suite & Soul Taxi. He helps create the infectious grooves that can grab an audience's attention or blend into the background and be the backbone of the song. When he’s not playing bass, he’s studying Uechi Ryu karate or writing software for scientists to analyze biological & chemical data.

Jim Ramsay (Vox, Guitar) - Hailing from Saskatchewan, Jim learned guitar on a glacier in northern Canada. Either his playing was on fire or global warming had started, but the glacier soon melted and he road it down to the states where he soon met up with the rest of the boys in ZMB. A veteran guitarist and singer, Jim joined ZMB in the fall of 2010, adding a Ben Folds style vocal and Weezer style guitar playing to the group.

Frank Hegyi (Drums, Percussion) - Frank's been playing drums for a long time, for a lot of different people, and in a lot of different styles. His resume includes everything from death metal to show tunes. He moved to Boston after college and after "auditioning" for a lot of awful bands on Craigslist he finally got connected with Zac Mac. If you like the way Frank plays, here are some other projects he's been a part of.

ZMB has changed over the years. Our first gig was as a 3-piece, then we became a 4-piece and for a good year we were a 5-piece. We'd like to thank all former members and wish them well in their current and future projects. Former members include: Ben Dwyer, Justin Casanave, Ryan Axford, Jay Fairley, and Nick Leoleis.
