absolutely love this band, saw them at music city and they were amazing and very down to earth. I hope they stay that way because most dont and there is nothin i hate more then stars who forget where they came from and how quickly they could go back if not for fans who love them.

Saw ZBB recently at the House of Blues in Cleveland. It was one of the best shows I have EVER seen. They are truly talented, and I can't wait to hear more from them.

I used to watch Zac at Dixies in Marietta GA when he played as a duet (Far From Einstyne)bac k in the 2001-2002. Zac could always play something that would get the crowd into his show.

hardly even country to me, more like a southern rock jam band with a country accent, see 'em live and dare to disagree. These guys absolutely ROCK!
|

I really wish that they would release a recording of their version of Devil Went down to Georgia! Hearing them play that live was the best I have ever heard that song and not to mention the fastest I have ever heard that song!

I have seen these guys up close in a Georgia bar and man they are amazing in person! There is nothing these guys can't do!
|
||
I agree--they are amazing! A little of everything.. . b u t mostly great vocals and lots of fun!!
