Zac Brown Band Put the South in Your Mouth
What is it with the Zac Brown Band and food? When the band was very new on the country scene with "Chicken Fried," back in November 2008, Brown had done these cooking videos from his home kitchen in Smyrna, Ga. A year and a half later, he's still all about a good meal. So the former restaurant owner has a brand new cookbook out, Southern Ground, with 27 of his favorite comfort food recipes like farmer's fried green tomatoes and revival peach cobbler. And he's still doing his Eat-And-Greets at concerts, where the band invites about 75 fans to share some Southern cuisine before the show. Because he is so good in the kitchen, Brown has even created his own GA Clay Rub and Brown Sauce that will soon be available in stores. What's he have to say about all the food love? "Obviously we're always working on our music, but with this tour we're building an experience that involves all senses to ensure that it blow fans away every time," Brown says. "When people come to our show, we want them to smell the food cooking, taste our favorite recipes, watch our home videos of the road, listen to some great new artists and feel our excitement -- a full five-sense experience."

I have listened to Country & Western music off and on over the years. However, there is a new artist in town from Lake Oswego, Oregon, that has branched out in the Country & western field and I personally feel he is one to watch. I viewed his performance for the first time in Portland, Or. I must say I was impressed with the melody and lyrics. Good message, strong vocals, I highly recommend him. His name is Travis Rush and one can listen to his single “You’ll Find Your Way”, on the InterNet.

I realize that in your limited Country world the Zac Brown Band is new, however they have been around for many many years. Their first CD was released in 2004. Their second CD featured the song “Chicken Fried” in 2005.
