Zac Brown Band Skips Out On ACM Awards
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.”
