Finally got to see this Crossroads episode - it was great! So glad they sang Free. Love that one from an older Zac Brown Band CD I have. My husband saw them at an Atl bar a few years ago and brought home 2 signed CDs which we played to death... before Chicken Fried.

On the same CD I think, there is an awesome cover of Romeo and Juliet - a Mark Knopfler song. Give it a listen if you stumble across it sometime. Better than the original in my opinion.

:clap: I was at the Jimmy Buffett concert in Atlanta last night and had the unexpected bonus of getting to see Zac Brown join Jimmy for 3 songs. They also played a couple of clips from the CMT special during intermission. Anyway, just wanted to let you know the concert was great and your brother helped to make the show. Jimmy actually said he was "passing the torch" to Zac - nice endorsement! BTW - love "Toes" and "Where the Boat Leaves From" - both will be in heavy rotation on my ipod when I get to Seagrove in a few weeks.

We have tickets for the Atlanta (Alpharetta) Zac Brown Band concert on May 8th. Really looking forward to it.

The Jimmy Buffett concert must have been amazing. I thought about snagging lawn seats for that one. One year I'm going to do it.

I really recommend going to at least one Buffett show if for nothing but the people watching experience. We have been going ever since college (more years than I want to count:blush:) and each year is different and never ever boring. Wait until the week before and try tickets on e-bay - I'm sure you will find a steal, even on reserved seats.

Hope to see you at Lakewood next year!

My son and his wife saw them here in Memphis at Mud Island this past Thursday night. And wouldn't you know that it would get stormy looking and start with the lightning and some rain down there. He said it did not rain that much though, kind of blew over he said. Said the concert lasted about 3 1/2 hours. He said the place was packed.

Please tell them to hurry up with their new CD, dying to get my hands on some of the new songs they play at the show. Knee Deep is an instant classic!
It's awesome to see them go from the local 'sports bar band' that I used to see play 7 years ago to packing huge venues, way to go!

ZBB is my newest "favorite".....I saw (and recorded) a show on the TV, originally shown in September 09, called "Introducing: Zac Brown Band". It was a highlight of "the struggles and successes of the ZBB". What a heartening show! The entire band epitomizes the benefits of friendship, family, fun, and living and loving over being self-centered and egotistical. Their success is their reward for hard work, dedication, and being grounded in those things in Life that truly matter. It's not about fame; it's about doing what they enjoy, being real, and putting those they love first. They are not successful because of what they do, but for who they (collectively) are. Live long, and prosper!

I would highly recommend that ya'll pick up ZBB's new CD/DVD titled "Pass the Jar". $20 @ Bestbuy. It has 2 CD's of live music (originals and covers.....including the faastest version of The Devil Went Down to GA that you'll ever hear) and a DVD of the live concert at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The concert was a fundraiser to raise money to rebuild the GA Theatre in Athens (GO DAWGS!!!) which burned to the ground a year or so ago.

Hop who is your brother in the band? Why don't you pull some family ties strings and get them to do a show locally to raise funds for the oil clean up of our little slice of Paradise. They could play at the ballpark in PCB. IT WOULD BE HUGE!!!! I would gladly pay $100+ a ticket to see them and help out our community.

My brother is the bassist and sings. They are great guys. I'll mention it. Atlantic Records books them these days. I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't already planning some kind of benefit. Thanks for being a fan. go dawgs!

It amazes me the quality of music that calls home to the Athens GA vicinty (WP, ZBB, REM, DBT). The biggest thing I miss about moving here from Lawrenceville/Dacula is not being close to Athens.....especially on gameday!!

there is a really well done documentary of their USO tour in three parts on the Dodge Ram site called "For those who Serve"...each part is about 5 or 6 mins. Really worth watching.

We scored a really great CD at the ZBB Breaking Southern Ground concert in Atlanta - handed out for free for penning a short letter of support to a soldier. Love it!
