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!!!

Hi, Hop. Wouldn't your brother love to come visit you there in DA say in ...July, 2010? They could play for the SoWal crowd at the Amphitheater in Seaside sometime between
July10-24, 2010. It just so happens the family and I will be there. What a coincidence!! We have a gang coming with us. Think of the t-shirts, cd's, posters, etc they will sell. Just a thought! Of course, I give this suggestion for purely selfish reasons....my girls and I love ZB Band and we can put our blankets out really early on the lawn to save our place.

hmmmm......can't remember
Here's my small world story...
1) The much-spoken-of bass player in the video was one of the people who pushed me the hardest to go to Belmont. Once upon a time we played many-a gig together.
2) The first thing I played in public once I arrived at Belmont was "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" with a fiddle player named Jenifer Wrinkle who later became one of my roommates.
3) Jenifer Wrinkle plays fiddle for Martina McBride now. I can't find a video on YouTube right now (if I find it later, I'll post it) but it's my understanding that Jenifer played at the CMAs on Wednesday as well. (That was the scuttlebutt from my Belmont classmates on facebook, anyway.)
4) Clearly, I'm neither the most talented nor the most famous person I know...

The "Eat and Greet" is a cool idea. Fans literally get to sit down and have a meal with them and visit. The band and their crew are truly a very down to earth group of folks.
