Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that our good friends Joey + Rory have a new song out that features Zac Brown Band. Click on the banner to download “This Song’s for You” for FREE!!! This song really is FREE and it really is for you!

We started working on my new record last August.  We recorded drums and bass, along with scratch vocals and acoustic, at 800 East in Atlanta.  It’s almost been a year now.  I recently took a trip up to Nashville to try and finish up the tracking with Matt “Mango” Mangano.  It turned out to be a pretty successful venture.  It appears that y’all might actually get to hear some new music before 2011.

Working with Mango was great.  He is the type of guy who is willing to pursue ideas in the studio, even if he has little to no faith in the outcome.  And he never stoops to that tired phrase, “I told you so,” even though he did.  I have several guests lending their talents to this project.  I have been instructed to write about them, but I think it would be better just to surprise everyone.  I don’t want y’all having any preconceived notions.  The important thing is that Mr. John Kelton will be mixing the record in September.  So stay tuned, and we’ll keep you updated.  Can’t wait for y’all to hear it.

Please come say hi if you see us walking around the festival…see you in NC!

I was in Nashville for a few days last week. I went up for a show on the 13th at a newer venue called Billups Art. I played a songwriters night called “hits and giggles”. It is put on every week by Amanda Flynn, a Nashville songwriter, and I highly recommend that you attend if you ever find yourself in the Nashville area on a Tuesday night. The crowd was great. It was a real listening room environment. I had a couple drive down from Indiana to be there, which was very encouraging.

The next couple of days were devoted to writing. I’m trying to fill up a notebook this month with new songs, and I’m off to a pretty good start.

I also read an article today about Zac’s partnership with dodge, which will put the Southern Ground compilation into one million hands soon. I just found it humorous to see my name on fox business.com.

I’m sitting in the back of the bus in Santa Barbara trying to recall  this tour. We started out in late summer of last year in the
Southeast. Since then I have been in every region that the continental United States has to offer. I have done what I love every night with the people that I love.  If it all falls down tomorrow I will count myself a very fortunate person. The crowds have been great. It’s interesting to see how, across this Nation, everyone is pretty much the same. We all just wear different
shirts.

I am equal parts sad and excited that this tour is coming to an end.  Sad, because it has been such a great experience and excited to see what happens next. I promise my new record will be out soon. I don’t know when, and will not even begin to speculate on a release date, or month. But I know everyone will enjoy it.
