Zac Brown Band - "Chicken Fried"
[Video: Pete Maiden/Eric Helton; Editing by Pete Maiden]
We had the Zac Brown Band swing by the Smoking Section to play us a tune or two, but we were all having so much fun, the guys decided to give us an extended performance -- five songs!
The Zac Brown Band, hailing from Atlanta, is Zac Brown on guitar and vocals, Jimmy De Martini on violin and vocals, John Hopkins on bass and vocals, Coy Bowles on guitar, multi-instrumentalist Clay Cook and Chris Fryar on drums.
And these Georgia boys know how to put on a show, given that play about 200 gigs a year. They've been nominated by the Academy of Country Music as Top New Artist (you can vote for them here). Country radio has them in constant rotation.
"We're a live performing band," Brown tells us. "We never expected radio success to take off the way it has, but it's really helped us fill rooms in places we'd never been. We're selling out places we've never played. That's the type of opportunity we want as a live band."
Check out their single, "Chicken Fried," above, and click the jump for "Highway 20 Ride," a super-speedy cover of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," the feel-good beach tune "Toes" and "Whatever It Is."
UPDATE: Love the Zac Brown Band? Send us an email telling us why! The best response wins an autographed limited edition poster, a signed photograph and a copy of their album, The Foundation. Deadline is April 10th!

My husband and I saw the Zack Brown band in Ft. Pierce, Fl when they opened for Los Lonely Boys. They were incredible!!!!
We bought their cd and it has been one of our favorites since!!! Every single person leaving the show that night talked about how great they were. Keep the music coming guys!!

So nice to see Zac and the guys getting the recognition they deserve. If you get a chance to see them live, don't pass it up. They won't disappoint. Especially if you're not normally a country person.

Finally a band of actually musicians, refreshing.
