Miranda brews a kooky watermelon co-ferment for Austin's sweetest, busiest pedal steel player, Mr. Zack Wiggs!

Zack Wiggs is a multi-talented musician from Lake Jackson, TX. You can hear him rip the pedal steel guitar in several local projects, including the Oh Hellos, Brody Price, Pelvis Wrestley, and Harry and Emmy. Most recently, Zack won a 2024 Austin Music Award for Best Miscellaneous Instrument (pedal steel). He's currently working full-time as a session musician and touring band member.
