Zac Brown Band Announce 2019 Tour Dates, Share New Song
Zac Brown Band return with a surging new crossover single “Someone I Used to Know,” which arrives as a new slate of 2019 tour dates are added to the band’s itinerary.
The Georgia group’s first new single in over a year, “Someone I Used to Know” looks back in the band’s catalog to the pop-EDM stylings of 2015’s Jekyll + Hyde, territory that has more recently been devoted to Brown’s experimental side project, Sir Rosevelt. Its lush instrumentation, echo-heavy production, and finger-snapping chorus bear the influence of its co-writer, Canadian pop star Shawn Mendes, with whom Zac Brown Band collaborated on a recent episode of CMT Crossroads.
Mendes, who scored his third-straight Number One LP on the Billboard 200 earlier this year with Shawn Mendes, sang the praises of Zac Brown Band after they’d filmed their Crossroads episode together. “We kind of created this bit of fusion — country, pop-rock, and it’s very cool. In places where I usually wouldn’t stand for a second and jam out, I get to do that now. That’s something I always want to do, but sometimes don’t,” the singer told Rolling Stone last month.
In conjunction with the release of “Someone I Used to Know” — the band will give the song its television debut tonight on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon — Zac Brown Band have extended their recent Down the Rabbit Hole Live Tour into 2019, adding 15 new dates in March and April.
