Gentlemen may prefer blondes, but the Zac Brown Band prefers festivals! Their summer schedule is full of festival and fair dates, where they’ll be combining their two favorite things: music and barbecue.
ZBB will start their road trip with a handful of dates before the fests, including Greenville, SC (5/10), Atlanta, GA (5/12), Columbia, MD (5/31) and Bangor, ME (6/2). They have only one festival date in May, but it’s a biggie: the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 4.
From there, it’s all festivals, all the time, starting with the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, Tenn., on June 7, and then the BamaJam (6/15), Country Stampede (6/22), Country Jam USA (6/23), and Dauphin’s Countryfest in Manitoba, Canada June 30.
They’ll continue to log some serious miles in July and August beginning with the famous Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI, July 5, and stopping at Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming, the Sturgis Rally in South Dakota, the Peach Music Festival in PA, and ending the trek in Vermont at the Champlain Valley Fair on September 2.
Just like good music, Zac Brown enjoys good food, and as such started his own line of steak rubs and barbecue sauces under his Southern Ground company known as Southern Ground Grub. You can be sure to see him cooking up a storm at every festival stop, bringing his down-home creations to the masses, just as delicious as the music!

The Zac Brown Band is no stranger to putting on a good show, but this year they’re shaking things up by hosting their first ever 3-day music and food festival.
The Southern Ground festival runs from Oct. 21-23 at Riley Park in Charleston, S.C. Lead singer Zac Brown described the stage as extending to either side of the general admission with box seats above. Fans in the box section will be in for a treat as they’re served chef-prepared food throughout the day. The concession stands will also be upgraded.
“This is real wine and real food,” Brown said. “It’s not just what’s cheap. It’s not a $12 bag of nachos with some Cheez Whiz on them.”

Sometimes its easy to overlook the other members of a band besides the always notable frontman (or frontwoman), but when it comes down to it, all of the members have to agree on just about everything that the band is involved in.
That was one of the hang-ups with the Zac Brown Band, according to an interview between them and Pollstar.com, especially when frontman Zac Brown was coming up with crazy ideas like:
• Feed hundreds of fans club members at every show from a gargantuan custom-built tractor-trailer kitchen on wheels.
• Build and staff seven separate businesses that handle everything from publishing, film and music videos, and T-shirts – and why not throw in a machine shop for a planned line of custom knives?

The Zac Brown Band performed live with a handful of other artists including Jimmy Buffett for a free concert on Alabama’s Gulf Coast on July 7.
In addition to the free admission, the concert also aired on CMT.com, so fans worldwide could watch as Sonny Landreth, Kenny Chesney, Jesse Winchester and Allen Toussaint performed.
The benefit concert was created by Buffett, a Gulf Coast native, who told the AP that it’s ok to be mad at the oil spill.
“If you’re born and raised on the Gulf Coast and it’s kind of in you, and you don’t feel anger and rage initially over what’s going on down there, I think you’re a hypocrite,” he said. “That’s the way I felt. Now, what you do with that is a big question.”

This year’s 45th Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards results has not stopped the Zac Brown Band. They did not receive any awards this past Sunday night, but that’s ok - the band did not attend the ceremony. In fact, they were half way around the world, specifically in the Persian Gulf.
The Zac Brown Band was performing that night for thousands of our soldiers as part of a USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour. In a statement, frontman Zac Brown responds, “The war isn’t front page news anymore and a lot of folks forget that there are actually people over there, away from their families, serving out country. They’ve been giving up months and months of their lives, some of them years, so we’re excited to get to entertain them.”

Sailing Southern Ground is unlike any music festival you’ve ever been to. That’s because, true to its name, it’s held aboard a cruise ship and hosted by the Zac Brown Band.
The floating festival sets sail on Labor Day weekend. On Sept. 2 the ship departs from Tampa, Fla., and travels back and forth to Grand Cayman. While on board, The Zac Brown Band will put on the main stage show, with many more musicians being added daily.
When the music’s not playing there are still plenty of activities to do, such as lounge on the deck, swim in the pool, drink at one of the many bars, peruse the restaurants or just enjoy the view from your balcony.
So far, the confirmed bands for the Sailing Southern Ground festival are Michael Franti and Spearhead, Blackberry Smoke, Nic Cowan, Gaelic Storm, Sonia Leigh, Levi Lowrey, Oakhurst, Darrell Scott and The Wood Brothers.
If you don’t have your sea legs on you, Zac Brown Band tickets are available all throughout March on drier land.
