Zach Caraway is the proprietor of the Unicorn, where Drum and David perform. A big-bellied, sweaty man in an apron, he serves beer to the patrons and provides the main justification for Drum's self-image as a professional musician. Zach thinks like a businessman, although he apparently is not a very good one. He switches back and forth in terms of giving Drum work one or two nights per weekend, or none at all, depending on how he assesses the audience turnout, but he does not seem capable of equating the publicity stunts Evie arranges with audience growth. Zach's club is obviously struggling financially. A good-hearted man, he is very apologetic whenever he cuts back Drum's hours, and he continues to rehire Drum, even though Drum has screamed abuse at him.
