The Zmed Brothers at Puckett's Grocery - Franklin

The Zmed Brothers- 11.28.26 The Zmed Brothers — Zach & Dylan Zmed — are an Americana brother duo celebrated for their rich blood-harmony vocals, deep reverence for American roots music, and dynamic musicianship. Originally from Southern California’s San Fernando Valley and now based in Middle Tennessee in Nashville’s “Big Backyard,” they are regarded as torchbearers of the storied American tradition of harmony-driven country and roots music, echoing the influence of legends like The Everly Brothers while forging their own creative path. Raised in a household steeped in performance, the brothers’ earliest musical experiences were shaped by a blend of classic American repertoire and theatrical discipline. Their father, actor and singer Adrian Zmed, introduced them to touring life and live performance, while their mother, an educator, fostered their earliest public appearances. From these beginnings, the Zmed Brothers developed an instinctive connection to sibling harmony and American musical storytelling. From 2007 to 2015, Zach and Dylan honed their craft as members of The Janks, a Los Angeles–based indie folk-rock band known for its energetic blend of punk ethos and Americana storytelling. As they grew artistically, they transitioned into performing as a duo throughout the greater Los Angeles area, developing a devoted following of listeners who responded to their original music alongside carefully curated classics. During this formative period they received recognition including Best Country Song at the Global Peace Awards and shared the stage with acclaimed songwriter Billy Steinberg. In 2015, the brothers expanded their artistic mission by creating The Everly Brothers Experience, a deeply researched and passionately performed production honoring the legacy of Don and Phil Everly — two of the most influential sibling performers in American music history. Rather than imitation, their show celebrates the spirit and craft of the Everly Brothers’ close harmonies, country roots, and pioneering contributions to early rock and roll. Their performances have been presented across the United States and overseas, appearing in theaters, performing arts centers, and festivals, consistently praised for their fidelity to the original sound and heartfelt interpretive depth. The Zmed Brothers’ commitment to the country duo tradition extends beyond homage. In Honky Tonk Harmonies, their 2025 full-stage production, they trace the evolution of honky-tonk — from early string bands and Appalachian influences through the golden era of post-war country and rockabilly — weaving historical context, archival storytelling, and original compositions into a narrative celebration of the genre. That same year they launched the Blood Harmony Americana Series, a curated performance series spotlighting the roots of American songwriting via stripped-down, intimate presentations of classic material. They also released their roots-driven holiday album Yuletide Hayride. Across all their endeavors, the Zmed Brothers champion a philosophy rooted in authenticity: honoring musical heritage while advancing it through original creation. Their tight vocal blend, grounded in familial chemistry, and their multi-genre fluency connect audiences to the timeless power of country duet tradition and the broader Americana canon. They continue to perform nationally and internationally under their own name and through thematic projects, building a lasting legacy that bridges generations of American music. www.thezmedbrothers.com Show at 7:30 pm, no cover, tips appreciated, BOOK ONLINE or call 615-794-5527 for dinner reservations.
