Zac Brown Band plays Buffett benefit for oil spill victims
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.”
