Zac Brown Band Tickets

Starting out, even Zac Brown couldn’t have predicted his meteoric career trajectory. He was just a musician trying to test his limits and see how high he could fly. Now he is at the top of the ladder and millions of fans have queued up to buy Zac Brown Band tickets for his band’s performances all over the world. This is the story of a guy who dared to dream and is now living that dream.

His latest album, “Welcome Home” is a throwback to the type of music that put the band on the map in the first place. It is porch-rock at its best.

“We wanted it to be the most personal album that we’ve ever written. Normally, an album for me is just the collection of the best songs I have [at that time]. This is the first album that we set out to write a full album for a single project.” ­­ – Zac Brown

Early Days and Influences

Zac Brown got a guitar when he was just eight years old and that led to him learning how to play the instrument. He began to learn classical guitar but after around two years, he suddenly made the shift to bluegrass.
