Co-written in Auckland with producer Rory Noble, Zac explains how the track “comes from a place of heartbreak and regret from a love that went wrong”, and the ongoing struggle of dealing with that fallout.
Fans will be able to see ‘Sunday Sober’ live when Zac takes the stage at the renowned CMC Rocks Back Forty stage later this March. Speaking of the festival, Zac says: “I absolutely can’t wait to head over to CMC Rocks for the first time! Very excited to perform, as well as getting the full festival experience and watching some of my favourite country artists.”
ABOUT ZAC GRIFFITH:
Zac Griffith was still a youngster when he first picked up a guitar – and then taught himself to play. Growing up in rural Tapawera, the Johnny Cash film Walk The Line was all he needed to discover his calling in music.
From playing in pubs while still in school to taking to stages on both sides of the Tasman, he’s been performing live for over a decade and honing his craft along the way. His journey took a pivotal turn in 2018 when he won a scholarship to attend an esteemed country music academy in Tamworth – the most influential spot in Australia for country music. This is where he learnt the craft of songwriting, and has since been pursuing.
But he’s not some manufactured country star; he’s a genuine, down-to-earth country boy who splits his time between hunting, fishing, and working at a local bakery when he’s not crafting songs or commanding stages. And while his influences are vast, his sound remains distinctly his own.
Recently he’s been spending time gracing stages around Aotearoa and writing a bunch of new music, both solo and with collaborators. His 2025 single, ‘Midnights In Georgia’, talks to the story of a struggling musician and the hard times faced along their journey, and was a fan-favourite when he opened for Kaylee Bell across the South Island. On top of that he’s won numerous music awards, including being crowned the overall winner at the prestigious NZ Gold Guitar Awards.
