After an energetic opening set from Irish band Gaelic Storm, the band opened with the feel-good anthem “Toes,” setting the tone for what would be a night of seamless musical transitions. As the crowd sang along, the energy was palpable. Every person, from the front row to the back, swayed to the rhythm of the band’s irresistible tunes. “Homegrown” followed, with its laid-back vibe creating a sense of togetherness and nostalgia.

One of the evening’s most notable moments came when they performed the iconic “Devil Went Down to Georgia.” The fiery fiddle solo was met with wild applause, with fans completely immersed in the spirited performance. Next, the band transitioned into “My Kinda Medicine,” bringing a high-energy rock-infused sound to the stage, and then mellowed things out with the heartfelt “Sweet Annie,” showcasing the depth of their musical versatility.

Next, the band invited Drake White to the stage to join them for the song “As She’s Walking Away.” As the night continued, the hits kept coming with “Same Boat,” “Keep Me in Mind” and “My Old Man,” which Brown dedicated to all the dads. The Nashville crowd sang and swayed in unison, proving Zac Brown Band’s ability to connect with their fans. The energy reached new heights during “Knee Deep,” with videos of Jimmy Buffett singing in the background.

After a quick intermission, the band began their acoustic set, offering a more intimate experience. The soft strums of “The Wind” began, and a wave of serenity washed over the room. The stripped-back sound allowed every word to resonate, drawing listeners into the raw emotion of the music, followed by “Wild Palomino” and “Out In The Middle.”

The second half of the night saw Zac Brown Band deliver more crowd-pleasers. “Jump Right In” and “Island Song” brought a tropical feel, with fans enthusiastically singing every word. The playful “Two Blue Chairs & You” followed.

Another great moment came when the band covered Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” transforming the classic into a unique Zac Brown Band rendition that had the crowd roaring with appreciation. This was followed by the hauntingly beautiful “Someone I Used to Know.”

The evening took a tender turn with “Loving You Easy,” a song that had fans swaying and holding their loved ones close. The show’s emotional highs continued with Alannah Myles’ “Black Velvet,” with band member Caroline Jones taking the spotlight for a stunning solo performance that captivated the audience.

As the night neared its end, the group brought things full circle with the soulful “Goodbye In Her Eyes” and the reflective “Tomorrow Never Comes.” But it was the mashup of “Colder Weather” and the Eagles’ “Take It to the Limit” that truly left fans awestruck.

And of course, no Zac Brown Band concert would be complete without the crowd-favorite “Chicken Fried.” As the final song of the night, the song’s infectious joy filled the venue one last time, bringing the night to a close with everyone singing in unison.
