Zac Brown Band Tickets- On Their Way to the Top

At this year’s 43rd Annual CMA Awards Show, one band is going to be mentioned again and again: the Zac Brown Band. They may be relative newcomers to the mainstream country stage, but over the last year they have shown fans they are anything but rookies. The Zac Brown Band will be performing at the CMA Awards on Nov. 11, and they also have multiple chances to take home one of the awards. They are nominated for Best New Artist as well as Vocal Group, and their single “Chicken Fried” is nominated for Best Single and Best Song. Those nominations put them with the likes of Brad Paisley, Jamey Johnson and Billy Currington.
That isn’t the only honor the band has received lately. They will join quite the lineup to be featured on the DVD set Live from Bonnaroo 2009, which is due out on Dec. 15. Joining them on the release will be Phish, Bruce Springsteen, the Beastie Boys, Snoop Dogg, Elvis Costello, Ben Harper, Andrew Bird, the Decembrist, The Del McCoury Band and Cage the Elephant. Zac Brown Band’s performance on the DVD will be for “Who Knows.”  The Bonnaroo festival took place in June in Tennessee and is one of the largest musical events in the country.
The members of the Zac Brown Band may be rising to fame because of their top hits, but it is their live shows that stand as the most telling indicator that this group is here to stay. They have been crisscrossing the country to support their album and have received a warm welcome at every stop. There are still many upcoming dates, and fans can get Zac Brown Band tickets from StubHub.com. 
Zac Brown spoke about being onstage to Great American Country recently, saying, “I’m right there with ‘em. I’m in my own world, I’m in my own element. I mean, you’re givin’ yourself away and they’re givin’ it back, and what it does is create this turbine of energy. Once you get it rollin’ in the room, [you] try to see how big you can whip it up, [so] we’re ridin’ it right there with ‘em. That’s the good stuff.”  In light of the reactions of his fans, it seems as if the turbine of energy has been reaching great heights at many of his tour stops.
The namesake of the band, Zac Brown, is a Georgia native who started gaining acclaim as a solo artist with a stunning ability to flat-pick. His instrumental and vocal talent was only matched by his songwriting skills. In the mid 2000s, he teamed with like-minded musicians to form the Zac Brown Band. After a couple of self-releases, they finally landed a record deal with Live Nation. In 2008, they released The Foundation and quickly started gaining a fan base with the single “Chicken Fried,” which won them the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year at the CMT Music Awards. They showed they were much more than one-hit wonders by following with two more high-charting singles, “Whatever It Is” and “Toes.”
