Zac Brown Band brought a sold-out crowd of over 72,000 people to NRG Stadium on Sunday, March 5 during RodeoHouston.

The Grammy-winning group performed classics such as “Home Grown,” “Keep Me In Mind” and “Toes,” and also surprised fans with a rendition of The Allman Brothers‘ “Whipping Post” fueled by soothing guitar and drum solos. Their country ballad, “Colder Weather,” prompted attendees to put their phones up and illuminate the arena. They then concluded with a cover of “America, The Beautiful” and their smash hit “Chicken Fried.”
