a new residency, and he's singing the national anthem.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
It's Zack Brown, Zach Brown.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
No, I gotta ask you what's happening now?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
I feel like a guy like you fully composed, a
guy like Covino is like even he's got to be
a little nervous for the national anthem or performance like this.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You got any nerves.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Or no, not at all. I get excited, Mike, when
I get ready to go play a show, I just
get like like I'm in a shoot, like let me
out and let me go do my thing. I love it.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Have you been preparing? You know the words? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I've sung in a couple of times. Actually it was
a Braves game the first time I ever did the anthem.
I was fourteen at Fulton County Stadium when it was
over at the other spot. So I had some nerves then.
But it's it's pretty easy now.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It's funny you would say when you were fourteen.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Because cal Rowley won the home run Derby last night,
video floating around of him as a little kid like.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I'm gonna be a home run Derby champ. You got
some old shit, old footage of you playing in front
of like not many people. Do you have some of
that stuff?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, I mean playing in a coffee house, but I
mean honestly not to date myself, but no one had
cameras in their pockets. Like somebody had to literally carry
a camera around with him to actually get that. So
I don't know. There's some footage when I was working
at camp summer camp, you know, singing when I was
probably seven, sixteen seventeen.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Do you remember the first person that really believed in you,
like yo, Zach, stick with him?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Man?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
You got this?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, my brother in law David, when I was young,
I was playing guitar and singing. He's like, you ought
to move to Nashville and go do this, you know,
and the people. It's amazing in a young person's life
when somebody says something like that to you, like, hey,
you're really good at these to stick with it, like
that could be a life changing moment.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
And he goes from coffee house to the sphere in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
That's a huge announcement, great transition there like that. You
like that?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
When I was a kid, I was like, I'm gonna
be a big radio. See look at me now, No man,
tell me about that? Are you involved in the process
in the design? Like, how big is this for you?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
This is the biggest thing we've ever done, and this
is like, this is my baby, and I've been wanting
to do a spectacle for the last two or three
years and finding the right moment to do it where
but that place is the craziest canvas for creativity that's
ever been made. So you're only limited by your imagination
and your budget. Yea, So we've been we've been cranking.
We've been working on the content for fourteen months and
(03:28):
we've still got a few months to go. But it's
the stuff we have right now is mind blowing.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
How hands on are you with you visuals and.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Everything all of it. I'm hands on with every second
of it, from wardrobe to the design. I mean, we
filmed a forty piece orchestra, we filmed a twenty person choir.
We've got in this album you know, same name Love
and Fears, the same name as the show at the Sphere.
But this is our masterpiece so far. And this is
one of those years to like bet on yourself and
(03:56):
you have to fund it all just like making a movie,
you know, make in a movie that goes along with
it and it's people not expect what's gonna happen there.
I'll tell you that much. It's gonna be It's gonna
be incredible.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well, you're talking about love and fear. I heard Dolly
Partons on the album. She's gonna be in Vegas too.
Any surprise appearances and duets from you from.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Her, we we may or may not be doing some
amazing some amazing collapse too. I mean the the song
that she sang on on this album, I just sent
it to her, and what she sent back and how
she sang on it was just she's unbelievable. Like her
singing now is as good as it ever was. It's
it's she's insane. There'll never be another Dolly Parton. And
(04:39):
to have her on this album and in Vegas the
same time that we are. So we're cooking up some
stuff for the fans, and there's.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
A lot of collaboration. Snoop Dogg the first single, but
I heard word on the streets. There's a lot of rock,
like a rock and I'm a big rock fan. Tell
me about that.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, So there there's a there's three rock songs on
the album that are killing you know. I mean we
did the one with Chris Cornell back in the day
we got our number one on the rock chart, which
was like a dream of mine because I'm such a
rock fan. And we've got we've got some heat on
this record too, So super excited. You know. Wrote with
Dave Rohle for this record, wrote with Dan Reynolds from
(05:15):
Imagine Dragons, Charlie Starr from BlackBerry Smoke, Like we've got
some real rock in there, and and some of it
is just like this is our chance to do like
a rock opera thing, you know. It's just like this
is our moment to do it, to do something that's Vegas.
But honest, there's four acres of video in that place.
(05:35):
They have to measure it an acres.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Now.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
When you write music, I always hear artists say that
song came to me in like five minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
This one we labored over for months.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Any of your big hits, ones that just came to
you and did others take like months that you guys
working it out and writing.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
For sure, it happens every kind of way.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Man.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Sometimes you finish it in three hours and sometimes like
goodbye in her eyes. I was looking waiting for a
bridge for that for eleven years. So but if you
know it's great, you don't want to compromise. You don't
want to just mail it in. You know, you gotta
wait until every line is like what you want it
to be.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
You know what it's done, by the way. That's always
the obstacle. Imagine that.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Yeah, for sure, I think you've got a good radar.
And when you're co writing with somebody and you're looking
for that line, somebody will say something. You're like, let's
try to beat that, you know, and then it doesn't
matter who says it. When you're when you're writing, somebody
will say it and you know it's the right one.
When everybody agrees, everybody.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Politely, how do you play it would be like, yeah, yeah,
that's good.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
But uh well, I mean I think that's the thing,
Like it's such a like positive positivity so important. It's
like fertile ground for creating. So you don't want to
hate on anything. You just want to be like, that's great,
let's hold that, Let's keep that here, let's and let's
see if we can beat that later. And you move
on it's something else and you go back you're like listening, like,
this part's not quite as strong as the rest of it.
(06:53):
So let's see if we can beat that line. And
if you're collaborating with the right people, you can do
that and there's no ego about it. When the right
thing pops out, everybody's like, that's the one.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, I want to get back to the album. But
we're here for the All Star Game, Zach Brown. Obviously,
we always say music and sports goes hand in hand.
You're a big Atlanta brave sky. Were you a good
player growing up? Did you have some skills? Are you
good baseball player?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
No? I never played baseball. I never did, but I
loved it. Baseball cars were my life. I used to
ride in Commings, Georgia, down the road. I'd ride five
miles on my bike to work at a car shop,
and I got paid in baseball cards, So I was
like fanatic card collector.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
What was your best one back in the day?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Man? Back then, it was probably an Eric Davis rookie card,
like eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Fleer was that jose Canseco rookie? Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah? All the radio rookie? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Are the eighty seven with the wood border for Tops.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Yeah, they printed nine billion of those Tops cards. They're
still around and you still get the piece of gum
out of there and break your teeth on it.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
As in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Got who was your guys like Chipper Jones, Dale Murphy,
who was your dude?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah? Back then Dale Murphy, Bob Horner and Bob Horner
wasn't really like a guy that looked like an athlete
John Kruk back in the day. It's like those kind
of guys. But you know, I was at the game
when he smashed four home runs in a game, and
it's like, but those memories are attached, like at those
cards when I look at it, like takes me right
back to when I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Well, I gotta ask here.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
We just got off the field and we were Overwhelmed's
like Aaron Judge, all our heroes are there.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Do you get that thrill meeting some of these guys?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Absolutely? Absolutely. I Mean my son just met Ellie Dela
Cruz and just like that just made his day because
we've been watching that dude's highlights. Man, he's an absolute alien.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
And you know it's cool.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It's a mutual respect because they feel that way when
they meet you.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That's weird because like the musical heroes and things like that.
Getting to collaborate and work with people that are your heroes,
they're like superheroes, and then you're friends with them, that's
even more weird. You're like at their house. It's like,
it's weird.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That's wild.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
No, I gotta ask because you have new stuff that
your fans are excited about. In fact, within five minutes
of learning that we were gonna interview you, my wife's
best friend's like, we gotta go see Zach Brown. They
just announced Vegas fans ex about the new stuff you
got the old hits? Do you get excited to play both?
Or there are times where you're tired of the old stuff?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Where do you like? Still love that?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I still love it when I'm when I'm on stage,
like because it the goal. I just love making people
feel good. So when they're singing along and singing back
to me, I love it. Like I don't sit around
my house just singing Chicken Fried. But when I'm on
a stage, I absolutely love it. I love the energy
it brings. I love that connection with the fans.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
So I started to interrupt, are you wearing a pair
of jeans that fits us right or damn nice? You
know when they fit?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I don't know, man, I love that line, by the way,
every time I put on a sweet pair, like there
they are.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That's what Zach Brown's talking about.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
They don't smash your junk, And yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Was gonna say, Uh.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Also cool to know that some of your songs just
mean so much to people in a part of their life,
Like whatever it is reminds me when I first started
dating my wife. So that's got to be cool when
you look out and realize these songs mean so much.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Right, People tell me that a lot. Man. You know,
I've got a lot of veterans that come to our shows,
and we bring a veteran up on stage every night.
And some of the guys that I've played for over
in Iraq, like they've lost some of the guys that
were there with him, and they're like, man, these songs
mean so much. So just just like creating something that
people can resonate with it reminds them of their own
(10:14):
life and being able to connect them. It's such a gift, man.
Music is such medicine. Man, It's still medicine for me.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I love hearing that we're music guys. We're in sports guys, right.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I mean they go hand and hind, Like I said,
And I want to thank you for the collaborations. I
feel like rock especially needs more of the collaborations because
I believe it works in hip hop and you're collaborating
with rock dudes and hip hop dudes.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
What was it like working with Snoop? And how smoky
was that studio?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
You got to give us the screw career Snoops amazing, man,
He's always staying relevant man always. And this song, I
can't wait for this. It is just a few days
from this song coming out. I mean, he killed it's
It's amazing. We've actually got a little pop up coming
up where he's gonna sit in So I'm super stoked
about that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
You still get that thrill hearing it on the radio
for the first time. People getting to know your.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Song for sure. Man. And we're doing this whole album,
this whole thing without a label. This one's full independent
and we're funding it ourselves and pushing it out there
and using all of our friends. Thanks to Major League
Baseball for helping us to spread the word and to
uh to be such an incredible partner man, such incredible people,
and for helping out with Hop as well. You know,
Hop Hop is fighting als and he's got his charity,
(11:23):
Hop on a Hop on a Cure, and MLB has
been incredible helping to spread awareness for that as well.
So amazing people, just just stoked to be a part

Are the eighty seven with the wood border for Tops.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Yeah, they printed nine billion of those Tops cards. They're
still around and you still get the piece of gum
out of there and break your teeth on it.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
As in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Got who was your guys like Chipper Jones, Dale Murphy,
who was your dude?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah? Back then Dale Murphy, Bob Horner and Bob Horner
wasn't really like a guy that looked like an athlete
John Kruk back in the day. It's like those kind
of guys. But you know, I was at the game
when he smashed four home runs in a game, and
it's like, but those memories are attached, like at those
cards when I look at it, like takes me right
back to when I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Well, I gotta ask here.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
We just got off the field and we were Overwhelmed's
like Aaron Judge, all our heroes are there.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Do you get that thrill meeting some of these guys?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Absolutely? Absolutely. I Mean my son just met Ellie Dela
Cruz and just like that just made his day because
we've been watching that dude's highlights. Man, he's an absolute alien.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
And you know it's cool.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It's a mutual respect because they feel that way when
they meet you.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That's weird because like the musical heroes and things like that.
Getting to collaborate and work with people that are your heroes,
they're like superheroes, and then you're friends with them, that's
even more weird. You're like at their house. It's like,
it's weird.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That's wild.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
No, I gotta ask because you have new stuff that
your fans are excited about. In fact, within five minutes
of learning that we were gonna interview you, my wife's
best friend's like, we gotta go see Zach Brown. They
just announced Vegas fans ex about the new stuff you
got the old hits? Do you get excited to play both?
Or there are times where you're tired of the old stuff?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Where do you like? Still love that?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I still love it when I'm when I'm on stage,
like because it the goal. I just love making people
feel good. So when they're singing along and singing back
to me, I love it. Like I don't sit around
my house just singing Chicken Fried. But when I'm on
a stage, I absolutely love it. I love the energy
it brings. I love that connection with the fans.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
So I started to interrupt, are you wearing a pair
of jeans that fits us right or damn nice? You
know when they fit?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I don't know, man, I love that line, by the way,
every time I put on a sweet pair, like there
they are.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That's what Zach Brown's talking about.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
They don't smash your junk, And yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Was gonna say, Uh.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Also cool to know that some of your songs just
mean so much to people in a part of their life,
Like whatever it is reminds me when I first started
dating my wife. So that's got to be cool when
you look out and realize these songs mean so much.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Right, People tell me that a lot. Man. You know,
I've got a lot of veterans that come to our shows,
and we bring a veteran up on stage every night.
And some of the guys that I've played for over
in Iraq, like they've lost some of the guys that
were there with him, and they're like, man, these songs
mean so much. So just just like creating something that
people can resonate with it reminds them of their own
(10:14):
life and being able to connect them. It's such a gift, man.
Music is such medicine. Man, It's still medicine for me.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I love hearing that we're music guys. We're in sports guys, right.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I mean they go hand and hind, Like I said,
And I want to thank you for the collaborations. I
feel like rock especially needs more of the collaborations because
I believe it works in hip hop and you're collaborating
with rock dudes and hip hop dudes.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
What was it like working with Snoop? And how smoky
was that studio?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
You got to give us the screw career Snoops amazing, man,
He's always staying relevant man always. And this song, I
can't wait for this. It is just a few days
from this song coming out. I mean, he killed it's
It's amazing. We've actually got a little pop up coming
up where he's gonna sit in So I'm super stoked
about that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
You still get that thrill hearing it on the radio
for the first time. People getting to know your.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Song for sure. Man. And we're doing this whole album,
this whole thing without a label. This one's full independent
and we're funding it ourselves and pushing it out there
and using all of our friends. Thanks to Major League
Baseball for helping us to spread the word and to
uh to be such an incredible partner man, such incredible people,
and for helping out with Hop as well. You know,
Hop Hop is fighting als and he's got his charity,
(11:23):
Hop on a Hop on a Cure, and MLB has
been incredible helping to spread awareness for that as well.

of it.
