Zac Brown hit the CMA stage with his band to perform a new song, 'Day for the Dead,' with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters on drums. 

The performance started out as a country tune, but quickly turned more rock-centric with a knock-out musical interlude that featured Grohl's intense drumming style. Grohl is rumored to be producing Brown's next album.

Earlier this year, Brown told the Country Vibe, “I want to work with Dave Grohl. Dave Grohl is one of our musical heroes as a band and he said that he would be interested in doing that too.”

Brown and company were nominated for Vocal Group of the Year at the awards, but lost out to Little Big Town.
