Zac Brown Band Taps Willie Nelson, Grace Potter, Edward Sharpe + More For Southern Ground Music & Food Festival's Return To Nashville, Sept 27 & 28

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Following the Southern Ground Music & Food Festival's hugely successful debut in Nashville last year, Zac Brown Band and friends are at it again. Presented by LandShark Lager, ZBB's ultimate sensory experience will take place in Music City at The Lawn at Riverfront Park on Friday and Saturday, September 27 and 28.

Called "seamless" (Nashville Scene), "impressive" (Hollywood Reporter), and all together "unbelievable" (AOL The Boot), the festival will feature sets by Willie Nelson & Family, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Eli Young Band, Kacey Musgraves, The Head and the Heart, and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, among additional names to be announced soon.

Continuing the festival's annual tradition - which the band kicked off last year with iconic artists such as Gregg Allman, Sheryl Crow and John Mayer - ZBB's "Super Sets" will close both nights with special sit-in performances by Kenny Chesney, John Fogerty, Jason Mraz and more. As American Songwriter said about the 2012 fest, "Zac Brown does indeed know how to throw a party."

Guests in the boxes are served complimentary beer, wine, liquor and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as gourmet cuisine from ZBB's mobile kitchen.
