Zac Brown Band has ten tour dates on their books so far for 2016, and a lot of those dates are music festivals. The band enjoys playing festivals with other artists because they say, “We really enjoy the camaraderie of gettin’ to hang out with other musicians and see other people play and perform and get ideas for what we’re gonna kinda do next creatively, and what not.”
Zac Brown Band is known for doing almost everything related to their touring, recording and career in-house, and they say, “You can get too kinda isolated, you know, just out touring in your own bubble and then it’s cool to come back and see what everybody else is doin’ and how you kind of are close to that or not like that, or however else. So, we enjoy it.”
Zac Brown Band’s latest single, “Beautiful Drug” is top ten and still climbing up the charts.
