The Zac Brown Band plays over 200 shows a year, and as one journalist put it, they "might just be one of the hardest-working group of guys in the business. How else do you describe a guy who can make his band sound like Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, Robert Earl Keen and James Taylor, often within the course of two or three songs?" (Post Courier, SC)
Equal parts country, bluegrass, southern rock, pop and reggae, the Zac Brown Band has a sound that rocks crowds everywhere it plays.
"It's kind of crazy how we can go to a place where no one's heard of us before and by the time we leave people are singing the songs," bandleader Zac Brown says.
While the Zac Brown Band has opened for everyone from Sugarland and The Allman Brothers, to B.B. King and Etta James, the group is in California in July supporting Alan Jackson with additional shows scheduled at the Konocti Harbour Amphitheater in Kelseyville (7.25); Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa (7.26); and at the Midstate Fair in Paso Robles (7.27).
The Zac Brown Band brings its distinctive sound to L.A.'s Troubadour on July 21st performing songs from the forthcoming album 'The Foundation,' set for release in late summer.
Zac Brown Band is:
Zac Brown / Lead Vocals Acoustic Guitar
Jimmy De Martini / Fiddle
John Driskell Hopkins / Bass
Coy Bowles / Guitarist/Organist

Zac Brown from the Zac Brown band described the
band's sound as lake music and if the lyrics of their song Toes, where
they describe having toes in the water, didn't make it obvious enough,
they welcome that distinction.

When I headed out to the Windjammer on Sunday night, it was to relax and have a couple of beverages with friends to enjoy the Memorial Day weekend.
I had heard things about the headliner that night, the Zac Brown Band, but I had not had the chance to check out Brown and his fellow musicians. At the end of the night, I have to admit that I walked out of the 'Jammer as a new admirer of Brown's music.
