The Grammy Award-winning Zac Brown Band will soon depart on a USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour to the Persian Gulf. This is the band’s second USO tour and the third for Zac Brown, who traveled on the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff USO Holiday tour in 2008 and performed at the USO Fort Hood Community Strong event in 2009 with his band. Together, Brown and his band have entertained and boosted the morale of more than 23,000 troops!
Named “Best New Artist” at the 2010 Grammy Awards, the Zac Brown Band was recently nominated for four Academy of Country Music Awards including “Entertainer of the Year,” “Album of the Year,” “Single Record of the Year” and “Top New Vocal Group.” During their nine-day USO tour, the band will visit multiple posts, sign autographs and perform countless hits, such as “Chicken Fried,” “Toes” and “Whatever It is.”
Check out the video below that the band made to chronicle their Grammy Experience…
I have to tell my husband to go see them if he gets the chance. It’s wonderful to have entertainers take time out of their busy schedules to go boost the morale of the troops!!! Thanks from a deployed soldiers wife!
