Zac Brown Band to Perform at Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo

The Grammy-winning Zac Brown Band will break new southern ground in the state of Texas, when they rock the stage for the first time at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo March 17, 2011. Also performing at the 78th annual event is Brad Paisley, who will hit the rodeo stage for the fourth consecutive year (his sixth appearance overall) March 19. Sugarland will take the stage for the third time March 3 and teen Disney star, Selena Gomez is scheduled for March 6.

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo will run March 1-20. A complete lineup of entertainment will be announced in January.

Next up for ZBB is the 44th Annual CMA Awards November 10. The band is nominated for four awards -- Entertainer of the Year, Vocal Group, New Artist and Musical Event for 'Can't You See' (featuring Kid Rock). The last act to be nominated for both New Artist and Entertainer in the same year was Ricky Skaggs in 1982.

Additionally, bandmates Zac Brown and John Driskell Hopkins also scored individual noms for Song of the Year for 'Toes,' which they co-wrote with Wyatt Durrette and Shawn Mullins. The band will also perform with Alan Jackson on 'Country Music's Biggest Night,' which airs live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville at 8PM ET on ABC.

Zac Brown Band's latest album, 'You Get What You Give' is in stores now. Their current single, 'As She's Walking Away' (with Alan Jackson) has shot into the No. 2 slot on the Billboard charts -- making it a very likely candidate for the group's fifth No. 1 smash.
