The massively condensed career bio for the Zac Brown Band goes something like this: Talented Georgia musician with instinctive head for business and mad kitchen skills ditches college, makes music, opens a restaurant, works with a wide range of musicians before settling on an alchemic lineup, conquers Atlanta, signs a recording deal with a concert promoter which then dismantles its fledgling label division-all not necessarily in that order. Aided by a highly competent promotion team, infectious debut single shoots up the country charts, musician and band sign to a major label, which, incidentally, didn’t have a Nashville office at the time. Hit after hit follows.
Hank didn’t do it this way, nor have many others. Brown, 32, acknowledges that his band’s mix of styles-country, roots, reggae, Southern rock and soft rock, among others-and its route to the top of the country charts have been anything but routine. “But it’s been good the whole way,” he says. “We wouldn’t be ready if we hadn’t gone that way.”
Now, after eight years on the road, 1,000-plus shows, three studio albums, three live records, a few different labels, sales of 2.2 million (according to Nielsen SoundScan) of the breakthrough 2008 album “The Foundation,” multiple Country Music Assn. (CMA) and Academy of Country Music award nominations and one highly coveted 2010 best new artist Grammy, the Zac Brown Band will release on Sept. 21 what’s sure to be the biggest record of its career, “You Give What You Get.
“We want the people to hear what we spent all this time working on,” Brown says. “We bled writing these songs, we bled in the studio, and now we’re out bleeding getting them right live.”
