Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band has his own unique style, including his bushy beard and the knitted beanie caps he often wears, and Zac says that’s all by his choice. “It’s definitely not because somebody told me to. I hear about it sometimes like, ‘Why don’t you just shave that beard off and get rid of it’, and that’s OK. People feel like they can project their BS on me, for some reason. I’m not afraid to be who I am.”
Rather than worrying about what other people think of his appearance, Zac and the band are focused on their new music, including their latest single “Homegrown,” and their new album, which they’ll be releasing this spring.
