Zac Brown Band just released their brand new single, “Homegrown,” which will be on their forthcoming album due later this year. Besides making music, Zac has his hands in so many different projects and aspects of his career, including a recording studio in Nashville, Camp Southern Ground for children of all abilities, a line of cooking spices and rubs, he oversees the creation of Zac Brown Band’s merchandise by his own people in Atlanta, who also build tour buses, their mobile kitchens and he’s even working on opening his own restaurants.
Zac says the only way he’s able to do all of that is by surrounding himself with an incredible team of people. “It’s all about the help that I have, and I’ve got brilliant, passionate people that I try to instill the way that I would answer or to do things,” says Zac. “We have our philosophy behind it, but that’s the only way it gets done, with all of our people.”
