Biography: When you first see Zac Brown in person you immediately get an infallible feeling that you've just encountered somebody very special. Only in his mid-20's, Zac possesses an uncanny aura -- in both his personality and in his music -- that is beyond his young years. It is this aura that easily draws people into Zac's World; a world of jam-packed gigs where post-collegiate fans rub elbows with blue-collar bikers; a world of "chicken-fried" mayhem where fans toast the sky (domestic beer in hand!) to certain parts of songs. Zac's love for the great outdoors, cold beers, and people in general, comes through in his songs, which are one part personal and sentimental, and another part raucous and humorous. If Jimmy Buffet had a younger brother playing music in the Georgia wild, he might be Zac Brown. Zac's style is acoustic-based, but don't get the wrong idea, your jaw will drop as you bear witness to Zac's frantic finger-pickin', hand-thumpin' nylon-stringed guitar solos. A true "Redneck Renaissance Man", Zac owns his own restaurant, Zac's Place, that serves up southern gourmet culled from his personal recipes... Zac breeds his "own" classification of dog, the Weimerhound (A Weimereymer and Bloodhound mix)....Zac collects bone knives and hand axes and is an excellent marksman....Zac grows figs and bottles his own preserves on his farm...Zac is a comedy writer and occasionally performs his original comedy songs on unsuspecting audiences...Zac knows both Kung Fu and Ju-Jitsu. So, if heaven is having "your toes in the water and ass in the sand" or "a cold beer on a Friday night" and wearing "jeans that fit just right", you'll swear Zac Brown is your guardian angel.
