Zac Brown Band

**Hop** · 06-25-2008, 09:52 AM

This is my brother's band... they are stepping into the big time...They have a country/blues/rock fusion thing going on....they made their national radio debut last week and they're climbing the charts. they just signed on to a label called Live Nation...they have 4 clients....U2, Madonna, Jay-Z, and Zac Brown Band...if that tells you anything...they are on tour right now. They'll be playing with Willie Nelson, Alan Jackson and Sugarland at various times on this tour. I'm very proud...obviously...so call in to local stations...and listen out for them....I would love to see some of our locals....Dread, WACO ramblers...tag along with these guys...they'd really compliment each other...Support Local Music!!!

Love it.

"I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the world and a cold beer in my hand."

**kurt** · 06-25-2008, 10:09 AM

They're good! Zac has a nice voice.

None of them look like you though.

I had no idea Bear Bryant could jam like that.

Okay, so I'll throw in my $.02 here...if you're lurking, you need to listen to this bunch and do what Hop tells you to do. This band is jam up jelly tight, and has some of the best, tightest musicians around.

Here's one of my faves, except that they seem to have picked up their outfits from the Deliverance thrift store:

And here's another really beautiful song, especially at about 5:30 into this version (sorry, Hop--I had to do it):

**Miss Kitty** · 06-25-2008, 08:09 PM

Wow! That is fantastic!

DD · 06-25-2008, 08:39 PM

Love 'em!!!

**BrownEyedGull** · 06-25-2008, 09:17 PM

Love them!!!!

My friend & I saw them in Atlanta at The Fox with Sugarland!!!

Love "Chicken Fried" and I do hear that song on Kicks 101.5 all the time!
.

**SWGB** · 06-25-2008, 09:18 PM

You could probably drop off a CD at 30A radio. Just saying.

**BrownEyedGull** · 06-26-2008, 10:12 PM

We were just in the car with the kids & "Chicken Fried" came on & all 4 of them yelled TURN IT UP!!! and we all sang out loud with the windows down going to Bruster's to get ice cream

"Cold beer on a Friday night, pair o' jeans that fit just right......."

.

What she said.

Thanks kase.

**Beachbummett** · 06-27-2008, 06:04 AM

AWESOME!! I love it!

How come you are not listing an Alabama station? Guess I'll have to start a call in to WZZK (205) 741-1047.....KDW Huntsville's WDRM -866-302-0102 JB I guess you would call B'ham too. Ok, who else is in Alabama?

Hoppy, where can we buy a cd?

Strange that they don't list Alabama on that list. They have played the Workplay Theater several times (looks like they'll be there in September) and seem to be in Alabama a lot...interesting...

I looked on the website (www.zacbrownband.com) but they seem to have pulled the albums for now...get on their mailing list or keep checking. I'm sure Zac wants to sell some music.

If you just want to hear more songs, go to his MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/zacbrownband

**Hop** · 10-31-2008, 05:59 AM

They signed with Atlantic Records this week...They are now #31 on "Billboard top 100" and climbing...

New video on CMT...Watch and listen for "Chicken Fried"

**Beachbummett** · 10-31-2008, 06:01 AM

OMG!!! That is fantastic! Congrats to your brother. Does this mean I have to start listening to country music?

**Jennifer Steele** · 10-31-2008, 07:06 AM

I get to hear them in March on Cayamo!!!!

http://cayamo.com/

**Evangeline** · 10-31-2008, 07:47 AM

Holy Cow! Cayamo looks amazing. It's everyone I love that's playing on there. I've always loved the idea of musical cruises, but that one's the best I've seen.

I know! Lyle Lovett

, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, Brandi Carlisle, Indigo Girls, it goes on and on...including the Zac Brown Band!

You should GO! I don't know if it's too late to book or not.

**aggieb** · 10-31-2008, 08:38 AM

listening to free now, and he's added into the mystic in.

**Beachbummett** · 10-31-2008, 09:34 AM

One of the girls here at the clinic just said "OhmyGod! I love that song! I hear it all the time!"

**Hop** · 11-07-2008, 06:41 AM

**Minnie** · 11-07-2008, 10:44 AM

Thanks for sharing the info, will definitely listen for them and contact the local stations.

**RiverOtter** · 11-07-2008, 11:35 AM
