Zac Brown Band Named GRAMMYs Best New Artist; GRAMMY Performance Available Exclusively on iTunes

 
Earlier this week, Zac Brown Band were named Best New Artist at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards.

"We want to especially thank all of our fans and country radio for their ongoing support," said Zac Brown about the group's GRAMMY win for Best New Artist. "This past year really was a milestone for us in so many ways and we're honored to have won this award and we're dedicated to making 2010 another great year."

Performing with Leon Russell, the "memorable pairing" (New York Times) delivered a stunning rendition of "America the Beautiful," Russell's "Dixie's Lullaby" and their #1 platinum single "Chicken Fried" for the ceremony.

On The View's GRAMMY round-up, Whoopi Goldberg raved "These guys knocked me out...I loved it."
