Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Zack Bush brought his love for jazz music to his hometown by reviving Ball & Chain, a historic live music venue in the heart of Little Havana famous for hosting 20th-century jazz greats like Chet Baker, Count Basie, and Billie Holiday. Zack's other passion is books. A devoted reader and writer, Zack's lifetime desire to become an author found a refreshed source of inspiration as the father of now six-year-old son Ace, and four-year-old daughter Ava. Zack is proud to have recently welcomed baby, Alexandra, into the fold as well. Zack's first children's book, Made For Me, is a national best-seller. Follow Zach on Facebook!
