I went to a Zac brown concert when I was ten years old and had just lawn tickets out an outdoor theater. We didn’t have a good view so we went up closer next to the vip and a security guard saw me and my mom and said I remember going to concerts with my mom, here’s two vip tickets. Next thing you know we’re on the front row jamming out to Zac brown my favorite artist. Zac came down while performing and gave everyone on the front row a high five. Might not seem that cool or life changing but to me that was the coolest experience I’ve ever had at a live concert, much love and appreciation for Zac and that security guard and what that experience meant to me.

I went to do karaoke at Santa's Pub in Nashville back in April of 2017. I was up next to sing when some guy walked into the bar and went up to the DJ, grabbed the mic, and then starting singing Stand By Me by Ben E. King. That man was Zac Brown. You never want to follow Zac Brown in karaoke. If you're reading this Zac Brown: screw you, man.
