Zager Guitars

Denny began playing guitar in 1949. He taught himself how to play the hard way…listening to songs on the radio and practicing hours every day. Years later he began writing his own material getting local air play and at the age of 15 had the #1 song in the 4 state area.

Over the next decade he put together several well known local bands…“The Devilles“ and “The Eccentrics.” When looking for a guitar player for the Eccentrics Denny discovered Rick Evans and soon after they formed their own duo “Zager & Evans“ who produced “In The Year 2525.”

After touring around the world Denny came back to his roots in Nebraska and focused on his one true passion…the guitar. If you know the music industry you’ve probably noticed that some people are in the business for fame and fortune while others are there for the love of the music.

Denny simply loved playing guitar and performing was an avenue that allowed him to do it. Unfortunately Denny was never comfortable in the spotlight which is why he retired from performing and began doing what he loved most …creating music and showing others how to do it.
