W O W!!!
Hate to do the "you really missed it" thang...but, wayulll...you did too!...;-)

ALL 5 STRAIGHT HOURS WORTH!!!







More piicies in this GALLERY...

Unheard of in Santa Barbara music history...prolly most other places as well...

Combining the love of surfing with music and food is IMO, the perfect embodiment for a perfect day...ya know what is kewl..."life is good today"...is another way of saying "Stoked for Lifeâ„¢"...no wonder it resonates...;-)

We got to hang out with the band (as well as some other kewl people...;-) and sample some of the recipes in Zac's new "Southern Ground" cookbook, at the "Eat & Greet" a couple of hours before the show...



Holy shmoly was it good...Zac is a former restaurateur and chef...
One really kewl thing is that they bought as much local ingredients as they could...choosing to shop at the smaller Lazy Acres instead of the bigger Whole Foods chain...

Here's a vid clip that I made that captures just a few of the evening's cool moments...includes Bob Marley's "One Love"...



We also got to hear several songs from an upcoming new record...one, that Zac says is the best he's ever wrote...I'll highlight that at a later time...

Cold brewskis at the "Eat & Greet" were supplied from Margaritaville...Land Shark Lager...be sure to check out Friday's (March 19) premiere of CMT Crossroads: Jimmy Buffett and Zac Brown Band together...

"Brown often performs a medley of his "Free" and Van Morrison's classic "Into the Mystic" in concert, but here it takes on a giant new fullness with the addition of Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band. As the easygoing song swells to truly epic proportions, the two groups reach a collaborative fever pitch just as the country/jam rock/reggae mix peaks. Since both bands are used to that mix -- with one foot on the beach and one in a pine forest -- this could be one of the most natural Crossroads pairings yet."
