Zac Brown Band becomes "Uncaged"
The album will also mark the official debut of ZBB's newest member - percussionist Daniel de los Reyes.
Influenced by guest performer Trombone Shorty and past appearances with Kings of Leon, Zac Brown told Associated Press that the line-up "creates a new kind of pulse within the band..." and the music is "really about making people dance."
Zac Brown Band's double-platinum major label debut "The Foundation" (Atlantic Records/Home Grown/Big Picture) was a big success as was 2010's "You Get What You Give."
Zac Brown Band is: singer/guitarist Brown, violinist/singer Jimmy De Martini, bassist/singer John Driskell Hopkins, guitarist/organist Coy Bowles, multi-instrumentalist/singer Clay Cook, drummer Chris Fryar and percussionist de los Reyes.
