BamaJam 2012 featuring Tim McGraw, Zac Brown Band, Kid Rock Zac Brown Band After an eventful year on the charts and on the road, GRAMMY-Award winning Zac Brown Band has proven that "overnight success" can be years in the making. New fans drawn by the irresistible hit singles, the awe-inspiring musicianship and dynamic live shows might have thought the Zac Brown Band emerged from nowhere. In fact, the band has paid its dues for years and put in its time for just this moment, it may have happened quickly, but it's definitely built to last. Now, fueled by numerous honors and accolades - including their GRAMMY win for "Best New Artist," "Top New Vocal Group" from the Academy of Country Music Awards and "Breakthrough Video of the Year" from CMT and USA Weekend - the Zac Brown Band is poised to move front-and-center in 2010. No question, the past year has been dizzying for the hardworking act. The Foundation was released on November 18, 2008 on Atlantic Records and debuted at #17 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and #3 on the Top Country Albums Chart, it is now certified platinum by the RIAA. The first single "Chicken Fried" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Chart, maintaining that position for two weeks, and also debuted as the second-most downloaded country single on iTunes. "Whatever It Is" and "Toes" both reached # 1 and the fourth single "Highway 20 Ride" is climbing the charts, which, Brown says, meant that he'd finally achieved what had been more than a decade in the making. "There's no way to predict how fast everything is going to come together," adds the down-to-earth Georgian. "Or that it took 13 years to get to the beginning of it." Tim McGraw Tim McGraw has sold over 40 million units and dominated the charts with 32 No. one singles. He's won three GRAMMY® Awards, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards, 11 Country Music Association Awards, 10 American Music Awards, three People's Choice Awards and numerous other honors. With 7.8 million spins at radio, McGraw was deemed "Artist of the Decade" (2000-2010) by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems. McGraw's 11th studio album EMOTIONAL TRAFFIC (Jan. 24) debuted at No. one on the Billboard Country Chart, making it his 13th career No. one debut. Critics have also chimed in with support for the new disc. Rolling Stone said, "His 11th LP is his most assured, with a dozen sharp songs about middle-American struggles." While the Associated Press added, "McGraw continues to expand country music's boundaries. That's why, 20 years into his career, his music still sounds so fresh..."His current single, "Better Than I Used To Be," continues to steadily climb the charts. This June, McGraw will kick off what is anticipated to be the biggest stadium tour in country music history with old friend Kenny Chesney. The 'Brothers of the Sun' Tour will reunite McGraw and Chesney for the first time in 10 years. The 20-city tour kicks off on June 2 in Tampa and will hit the nation's biggest stadiums through August. Also an accomplished actor, McGraw most recently appeared in The Weinstein Company's Dirty Girl. He has previously co-starred with Gwyneth Paltrow, Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester in Screen Gems' Country Strong. His other films include The Blind Side (2009), which was nominated for an Academy Award, Four Christmases (2008), The Kingdom (2007), Flicka (2006) and Friday Night Lights (2004). Kid Rock Kid Rock will released his 8th studio album, "Born Free," on November 16th via Atlantic Records. The record was produced by Rick Rubin and mixed by Greg Fidelman. The first single from the album will be, appropriately, "Born Free" which hits radio September 14th. "Born Free" is in many ways a transformational album for Kid Rock. While there is still the edge, wit, and swagger of previous albums, he doesn't rap, there's no metal - there isn't even a parental warning sticker. Says Kid Rock, "The catalyst for this record was Detroit, and my thoughts on the world through the lens of Detroit. Watching everything go downhill over the past few years, the economy, the loss of jobs everywhere, I wanted to make a record that reflected the times but that still had soul."
