After an eventful year on the charts and on the road, the Zac Brown Band has proven that “overnight success” can be years in the making. New fans drawn by the irresistible hit singles, the awe-inspiring musicianship and dynamic live shows might have thought the Zac Brown Band emerged from nowhere. In fact, the band has paid its dues for years and put in its time for just this moment, it may have happened quickly, but it’s definitely built to last. Now, fueled by such honors and accolades as three GRAMMY Nominations, “Top New Vocal Group” from the Academy of Country Music Awards and “Breakthrough Video of the Year” from CMT and USA Weekend, the Zac Brown Band is preparing to move front-and-center in 2010.
No question, the past year has been dizzying for the hardworking act. The Foundation was released on November 18, 2008 on Atlantic Records and debuted at 17 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and 3 on the Top Country Albums Chart, it is now certified platinum by the RIAA. The first single “Chicken Fried” peaked at 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Chart, maintaining that position for two weeks, and also debuted as the second-most downloaded country single on iTunes. “Whatever It Is” and “Toes” both reached 1 and the fourth single “Highway 20 Ride” is climbing the charts, which, Brown says, meant that he’d finally achieved what had been more than a decade in the making.
“There’s no way to predict how fast everything is going to come together,” adds the down-to-earth Georgian. “Or that it took 13 years to get to the beginning of it.”
