Country group Zac Brown Band will be bringing its increasingly acclaimed live show to Oklahoma City’s Zoo Amphitheatre on Sept. 16.
Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 26, the venue announced today.
Tickets will be available at www.zooamp.com and Tickets.com. For more information, call 364-3700.
The Atlanta-based band has developed a reputation for an electrifying live show, particularly after playing a scorching cover of “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” during last year’s Country Music Association Awards.
“I was so thrilled with that performance,” Oklahoma-born superstar Reba McEntire recently told the Associated Press. “I thought it was very gutsy of them, too, not to do their single, but to do a live performance. It was a showstopper. They do go against the grain a lot. They’re kind of renegade in a way, but they back it up.”
The band is coming off a series of three high-profile performances in the last week: Wednesday at the CMT Music Awards, Saturday at the CMA Music Festival and Sunday at the Bonnaroo Music Festival.
In addition, Brown & Co. have the momentum of three No. 1 singles, a recent Grammy win and two albums in Billboard’s country top 10 on their side. Their most-recent album, “The Foundation,” continues its slow burn at No. 3 with 2 million copies sold, and the new two CD, one DVD live set, “Pass The Jar: Live” is No. 9 on the charts.
The group takes a blue-collar approach, Brown told the AP before playing CMA Music Fest and Bonnaroo over the weekend, and feeds off the energy of the crowd. They always know in minutes if the show’s going to go to another level.
“You feed off the crowd,” he said. “Whatever they give you, as much as they’ll give you, it comes back to us and it makes this big turbine of energy in the room. We’ll know stepping out how much they want to give us. It gives us that extra. Literally when we get done playing we’re exhausted. We’re covered in sweat and we’re soaked and we feel like we’ve given them their money’s worth.”
