Zac Brown Band extends 'Foundation' run

The Zac Brown Band will continue its biggest national headlining tour to date with the addition of a dozen new shows behind last fall's "The Foundation."

The trek, which began in early September, continues Thursday (10/15) in Salisbury, MD. Since last check, 13 concerts have been added to the itinerary, including stops in Chicago (10/22), Columbus, OH (10/23) and Houston (11/21), among others. The road trip is currently slated to wrap up Dec. 27 in Nashville. Details are below.

Three Atlanta-based musicians--Sonia Leigh, Levi Lowrey and Nic Cowan--will join the country band on tour; all three are signed to frontman Zac Brown's new label, Southern Ground Records.

A handful of lucky fans in most cities will get the opportunity to experience Brown's signature recipes as part of a special "eat-and-greet," while everyone will witness the collaboration of all the musicians performing together throughout each concert.

"The Foundation," the Zac Brown Band's first major-label studio set, claimed the No. 2 spot on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart after it's release last November and spawned three Top 10 singles: "Chicken Fried," "Whatever It Is" and "Toes."

Last month, the band unveiled an exclusive edition of "The Foundation" at Cracker Barrel locations throughout the US. The special release includes three live tracks: "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," "I Lost It" and "I Shall Be Released."

Earlier this year, the Zac Brown Band took home an Academy of Country Music Award for Top New Group, and a CMT Music Award for USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for "Chicken Fried."
