Zac Brown Band

After an eventful year on the charts and on the road, GRAMMY-Award winning Zac Brown Band has proven that “overnight success” can be years in the making. New fans drawn by the irresistible hit singles, the awe-inspiring musicianship and dynamic live shows might have thought the Zac Brown Band emerged from nowhere. In fact, the band has paid its dues for years and put in its time for just this moment. It may have happened quickly, but it’s definitely built to last.

Zac Brown Band’s second major label studio album ‘You Get What You Give’ (Atlantic/Southern Ground Artists, Inc.) was released on September 21st, 2010 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album features guest appearances by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett and as Zac explained to Associated Press, “It’s a defining record…Every step of it’s done the right way and I expect people are really going to love this record and see the depth of our musicianship, we’re always growing. Not that we’ve arrived at any grand finale or anything, but the progress from this last record to this one, it’s tremendous and I’m proud of it.”

On the eve of the release from the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Zac Brown Band streamed their live show - dubbed “Best. Concert. Ever.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) - to fans everywhere via ZacBrownBand.com powered by Ustream. Touting nearly a half-million live views, the concert was among the most-viewed on Ustream. The band also recently earned four GRAMMY nominations including “Best Country Album” for ‘You Get What You Give’ and five CMA Awards nominations including “Entertainer of the Year.” Previous honors and accolades include their 2010 GRAMMY win for “Best New Artist,” 2010 CMA win for “Best New Artist,” 2009 Academy of Country Music Awards win for “Top New Vocal Group” and the 2009 “Breakthrough Video of the Year” from CMT and USA Weekend for “Chicken Fried.”
