Zac Brown Band is like a well-oiled, self-sufficient machine, doing everything from their music to their merch to their buses to their food all on their own, with their own people. While Zac is the head of the Southern Ground organization, he admits the only way things get done and done well is by surrounding himself with like-minded people who share his vision and work ethic. He says, “It’s all about the 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 do things. We have our philosophy behind it, but that’s the only way it gets done, with all of our people.”
Zac Brown Band is always working on new music, and considering it’s been almost a year since they released their latest album, Jekyll and Hyde, featuring “Beautiful Drug,” chances are they are hard at work on a follow-up album that will likely be released later this year.
