Zac Brown Band has unveiled lineups for their two Southern Ground Music & Food Festivals descending on Nashville's Lawn at Riverfront Park this September 21-22 and returning to Charleston, SC's Blackbaud Stadium October 20-21, where Brown's "vision of combining world class fare with live music became a stunning reality." 

In Nashville, Zac Brown Band & Friends will perform nightly super sets w/ special guests including Gregg Allman, among others. Other artists at the Nashville festival include Amos Lee, David Gray, and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. In Charleston, Zac Brown Band will lead the bill with nightly performances, in addition to The Avett Brothers, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, and Los Lonely Boys. Both events will feature Michael Franti & Spearhead, Jerry Douglas, and Southern Ground Artists including Sonia Leigh, Nic Cowan and Blackberry Smoke, among others.

Curated by the band – from the appetizers to the openers, and the entrees to the headliners – festival-goers can expect two evenings of the finest musical acts, delicious offerings from the culinary world's best chefs – under the helm of Southern Ground Executive Chef Rusty Hamlin, and an all around "incredible level of production" (Charleston City Paper) guaranteed to be a sensory experience like no other music festival.
