Zac Brown Band
Zac Brown was raised in Dahlonega, Georgia, the 11th of 12 children. He learned to play classical guitar at age 7. As a teenager, he played solo at local clubs. He started a band while he attended college in 1998 to help pay for his tuition, however they disbursed during a recording session. The Zac Brown Band was formed in 2002 and Zac created his own record label; Home Grown – now called Southern Ground. The band consists of Zac Brown – lead vocals, Jimmy De Martini – fiddler/vocals, John Driskell Hopkins – bass player/vocals, Coy Bowles – guitar, Chris Fryar on drums and Clay Cook on mandolin & steel guitar. The band has toured throughout the US, recorded four studio albums and has had 5 singles land on the Billboard country charts. “Chicken Fried”, “Toes” and “Highway 20 Ride” all went to #1! The band played at restaurants and clubs until they signed to Live Nation Records in 2008. Their first single, "Chicken Fried", was originally recorded in 2003 and included on the Home Grown album, but later re-recorded and released in October 2008 when Atlantic Records took over distribution of the hit song. Zac Brown Band received four nominations for the 2009 CMA Awards including New Artist of the Year, as well as Song of the Year, Single of the Year, and Music Video of the Year for their Number One single, "Chicken Fried". They also received three Grammy nominations for Best Country Album, Best Country Performance By a Duo or Group With Vocals and Best New Artist.
