Zac Brown Band just launched their Black Out the Sun Tour, and for fans who have their albums, including their latest, Jekyll + Hyde, featuring their new single, “Castaway,” Zac says the live experience is different because they have so many opportunities to completely impact the song. “The video that’s behind it, the way the band performs it, the lighting, the kind of mood you set for it, so you can really make something really impactful for doing it,” says Zac. “You get to have these other tools to help heighten the experience of that song.”
