Longtime local music fans might remember when the Zac Brown Band was playing in local clubs. Those days are long gone.
These days, the star is playing in much bigger rooms, such as McKenzie Arena, where he’ll be tonight, March 20, for a rescheduled January date canceled due to weather.
Since releasing “Uncaged” in 2008, the band has earned three Grammy Awards and released three platinum-selling albums, with more than 6 million copies sold. They’ve also had 10 songs reach No. 1 and been seen live by more than 1.3 million fans.
Atlanta is home to the band, which was passed over by just about every country label in Nashville before signing with Atlantic Records. Brown is represented by Will Ward, a 1989 Baylor School graduate, and Roar Global (see today’s Life section for more on Ward.) Brown formed his own label, Southern Ground Artists, in 2011 to find and develop new acts.
