New York, NY: On May 12th, GRAMMY-Award
winning Zac Brown Band will release ‘WELCOME HOME,’
the band’s new album and their first release on Southern Ground/ Elektra
Records. Produced by GRAMMY-Award winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton,
Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell) and In The Arena Productions, and recorded at
Southern Ground Nashville studio, ‘WELCOME HOME’ is what
the band calls not only a return to their roots, but also a return to
'The Foundation,' the band's debut album that is now 5X platinum.
The theme of reflection is echoed throughout the 10-track
album. Songs range from the first single, “My Old Man,” which paints a poignant
picture of the ever-changing relationship between fathers and sons to
“Two Places at One Time,” about juggling the conflict between life
on the road and the comforts of home, and “Roots,” which honors the band’s
journey from their humble beginnings. In addition, the band continues
their tradition of recording a cover song they all admire, this time with John
Prine's "All The Best."
"This is the most personal album we've ever done and
we're very proud of it," said Brown. "Welcome Home."
“Since the first time I
saw Zac Brown Band in Atlanta in 2008, they have continued
to evolve as incredible songwriters, performers, and record makers,” says
Elektra President Gregg Nadel. "They’ve made a brilliant new album that
marks a return to the band’s roots, and I am thrilled to 'welcome home' ZBB
to the Elektra family."
Pre-orders for ‘WELCOME HOME’ are available today. All
pre-orders will include an instant download of the first single "My Old
Man”: https://ZacBrownBand.lnk.to/WelcomeHomePR

‘WELCOME HOME’ is the follow-up to ‘JEKYLL + HYDE,’ the
three-time GRAMMY-winning multi-platinum artists’ fourth consecutive #1 debut
on the Billboard 200 chart. Their 2016 “BLACK OUT THE SUN” tour broke
attendance records at Camden’s BB&T Pavilion and Boston's Fenway Park, and
the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum opened a career-spanning exhibition
exploring the group’s rise to fame. All this built on the group’s three
platinum-selling albums (‘Uncaged,’ ‘You Get What You Give,’ and ‘JEKYLL +
HYDE’), 5x platinum ‘The Foundation,’ their 2013 project ‘The Grohl Sessions
Vol. 1,’ 25 million singles and eight million albums sold, and a historic
fifteen #1 radio singles, along with the distinction of becoming the second act
ever to top both the country and active rock formats. In Canada, the band has
had eighteen Top 10 radio singles including six #1’s.

About Elektra Records
The Elektra Records roster today includes artists such as Fitz and the Tantrums, Kaleo, Anderson East, Brent Cobb, Saint Motel, Finish Ticket, and others. Founded in 1950 by music pioneer Jac Holzman, Elektra is one of the most influential and iconic labels in the business, from its origins in traditional folk and ethnic music to launching the careers of such seminal artists as Judy Collins, the Doors, and the Stooges. Defined since its inception by an artist-driven environment, the label has championed a boundary-crossing roster, from the Eagles to Metallica, from Natalie Cole to Missy Elliott. In 2004, with the new independence of Warner Music Group following its sale by Time Warner, Elektra was merged into the Atlantic Records Group and officially relaunched in 2009.
