The Zac Brown Band

Eric is the king of music. He knows all about different bands and singers and songwriters. He can hear a song and know who sings it and when it came out. He also knows every word to EVERY song. He could totally go on the show “Don’t Forget The Lyrics” or “Singing Bee” or any other music game show. With all that being said, I LOVE when I know something about music that he doesn’t!

So when Christy and Albert wanted to go see The Zac Brown Band Eric hadn’t heard of them; but I had! I was so happy that I knew about a band at ACL that Eric didn’t. Later on I did have to confess about how I did know about the Zac Brown Band. You see, The Zac Brown Band is from Georgia (which made me surprised as to why Eric didn’t know about them) and the reason his friends from Atlanta wanted to see them. But how I found out about the band was from none other than the Food Network. One day when I was watching Paula Dean’s cooking show, she was featuring food and things from Georgia (since in case you didn't know that is where she is from) and she had Zac Brown on her show and he helped her cook and sang some songs! Not your typical place or way to find out about a band, but hey, I will take it!

Christy and I:
The show was fun and the entire crowd was getting into it and singing the songs.

Band Bio:
Georgia’s the Zac Brown Band seemed to come out of nowhere when it topped the Billboard Hot Country Chart with “Chicken Fried,” the lead single off of 2008’s The Foundation. But this is no overnight success story. Singer-songwriter Zac Brown and Co. spent years developing a grassroots following through relentless touring and independent releases like 2004’s Far from Einstyne, 2005’s Home Grown and 2007’s Live from the Rock Bus Tour. So by the time Atlantic Records swept in and helped put The Foundation over the top, the Zac Brown Band was more than ready for the mainstream spotlight. And country fans aren’t the only ones invited to this chicken-fried feast; jam-band enthusiasts and Southern-rock hounds will find plenty of stick-to-your-ribs hot licks to savor here, too.
Public Service Announcement: Just because the band is really good, and you are having a good time, and the bathroom lines are ridiculously long; doesn’t mean it is ok to just start going to the bathroom where ever! Common curtsy people. Thank you! This message was brought to you by someone who was unfortunate enough to witness such random, inconsiderate, and rude behavior!
