Country Hall exhibits Zac Brown Band

Wednesday, May 18, 2016 – The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will explore Zac Brown Band's rise to fame in "Homegrown: Zac Brown Band," a career-spanning exhibition that opens July 22 and runs through July 2017.

The exhibition will include stage wear, guitars, song manuscripts and photos from the band's personal collection.

"It's an incredible honor to have the history of our band captured by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum," said Zac Brown. "From day one, it has always been about connecting with our fans by writing songs that come from our hearts, performing at our best and creating unique ways to engage with them beyond the stage. It has been a crazy journey, and we've grown as musicians, as performers, and as individuals. We thank our fans for all their support and hope they enjoy the exhibit as much as we do."

"Zac Brown Band did not set out to be country music stars," said museum head Kyle Young. "Instead they ignored genre restrictions and focused on creating upbeat and soulful sounds that resonated with fans. Fifteen number one hits later, they are one of the most innovative groups in country music today. With this exhibition, we will trace the band's organic path to stardom that can only be described as 'homegrown.'"

Why saturate the market with oneself, especially when the solo outing was a mess? The cover of that pop/hip-hop experimentation said it all: Brown, ...
CD review - Welcome Home With "Welcome Home," the Zac Brown Band continues to do what it does best, which is making quality roots music. In fact, one of the album's songs is even titled "Roots." Brown may not be the most religious guy, but his latest songs focus on many truly spiritual cornerstones of life: family and friends. Both "Family Table" and "My Old Man" find Brown reflecting on his family life, with the latter also looking at 'the here and now' of being a father himself. ...
CD review - Jekyll + Hyde Fans looking for the Zac Brown Band of 2005 won't find it in "Jekyll + Hyde" - there's nothing but an aftertaste of the Georgia group's chicken-fried origins. That might be why the album's name is so appropriate. Fans have gotten to know the country-folk band, but a deviant creeps in on all 16 tracks of its fourth album. And, like the classic story, Hyde stands out as more interesting. It hits hard, too. The opener, "Beautiful Drug," has an electric-pop ...
