00:00All right, it kicks off on Saturday.

00:02Cannot wait.

00:03Kenny Chesney coming to town when the sun goes down to her.

00:06And you really can't call this guy an opener because we'll just show up for his show by himself.

00:11Yeah, exactly.

00:12On the phone right now, Zach Brown.

00:14Yay!

00:15What's up, Zach?

00:16Good morning.

00:17Hey, man.

00:18Appreciate you coming on and taking the time to talk to us.

00:20Yeah, absolutely, man.

00:21I'm stoked.

00:22Yeah, you got to be stoked.

00:23I mean, this thing's kicking off here in Tampa with Kenny.

00:26Tell me about that first call you got when it was time to set this thing up.

00:31Was he calling you saying, Zach, let's hit the road together?

00:33Or how did this come about?

00:34Yeah, my agent called me and was like, we got this thing.

00:38We do a co-head line tour with Chesney.

00:41And, you know, a little different pace, kind of doing one show every weekend.

00:47And, you know, it was some years ago when we went out and actually opened for Chesney a long time ago.

00:53And it's going to be fun.

00:56Just after the evolution of everything, just to be able to go back out together, share our fans,

01:03and get to see everybody kind of reuniting everything.

01:06I'm ready to play again.

01:08You know, it's been amazing.

01:09All season, I've been writing a lot.

01:11We got some hammered country songs, summer songs coming out.

01:15You know, I guess tie-up is out already.

01:17But we've got four more that are on this summer EP that we're doing to kind of support this tour.

01:23And I've been writing some great songs.

01:25I've been super excited to be working and being creative.

01:27And now it's time to get out and go move people again.

01:30You know, and that's our favorite part.

01:32You know, Zach, I saw the show when you guys were here in Tampa.

01:36What was it, October?

01:37I think it was not too long ago, or November.

01:40I got to tell you, and I've seen you a bunch.

01:42That was probably the best show that I have ever seen.

01:46The covers and the way that you guys sang those, a lot of those songs, was so good.

01:52And I am hoping that you're going to do more of those this weekend.

01:55Yeah, we put together a pretty high-energy set for this tour.

01:59Yeah, it was so good.

02:01Yeah, thank you so much.

02:02You know, we're very excited.

02:04It's going to be a really fun summer being out there and look forward to seeing you guys coming out of the show as well.

02:11We're excited to see everybody and play a bunch of this new music we've been working on.

02:16I'm proud of it.

02:17Well, I'll tell you what, man.

02:18Your hat game is usually on point every time we see you.

02:21So we always like seeing what kind of hat Zach Brown's going to wear.

02:24Have we gone over this?

02:26Have we been doing a lot of planning of what we're going to be wearing?

02:28I mean, because we're in the stadium.

02:29I'm ready.

02:31I'm ready, man.

02:32We got the gear.

02:34You know, I've been working hard on getting in really good shape, too.

02:36This is my year to, like, get lean and try to, you know, be feeling as good as I possibly can.

02:41So I've been working hard on that as well and just trying to invest in whatever makes you feel good, you know, and be able to give more.

02:48So it's going to be a special year just getting back out there again.

02:53What do you do Friday night and Saturday morning before the show?

02:58I mean, are you working out?

02:59Are you and Kenny going and running laps and, you know, running with tires and all that kind of stuff?

03:04Or what are you doing?

03:05Running with tires.

03:07Running with tires.

03:09Well, I think he's ran with tires before.

03:12Yeah, I know what you mean.

03:15Yeah, there's definitely a regimen we try to work on every day.

03:17I've got a really incredible trainer that I've been working with the last three months, and it's been game-changing for me.

03:23But a lot of it is just, like, flexibility, soft tissue work, things that get things moving, you know, keeping the old man out.

03:31Because I definitely want to be able to still dive and run up and down mountains.

03:35And, you know, when you turn 40, your warranty runs out.

03:39So you better start investing in it.

03:41Yes, it does.

03:43Well, Zach, we wanted to play a quick game with you, man.

03:46We're excited to see you here.

03:47Tie up, obviously, a great song.

03:49And I wanted to just do a rapid fire with you.

03:51First thing that comes to mind when we ask you a question.

03:53Is that cool?

03:54All right.

03:55I'm sorry for whatever I might say here.

03:57Let's see what happens.

03:58Hey, the fact that you have to say that makes me very happy.

04:01All right, let's do it.

04:03Basically, straight up, hardest song to sing live?

04:06Oh, all of them.

04:07I don't know why I record every single one of them so high.

04:10And, you know, you get out there and then you got to sing them high the rest of your life.

04:14But it's probably some of my favorite ones.

04:16You know, Singing Colder Weather is my favorite one.

04:18If my voice is a little ragged, sometimes that one's a little rough on it.

04:20But it's still one of my favorite songs to sing.

04:23Okay.

04:24Hardest song to play live?

04:26Yeah.

04:27You know, it's probably the newest things that you're working on and creating.

04:30Because you're trying to remember every little detail of all these new things.

04:33And we've put together a new show for this summer.

04:35So it's remembering all the new stuff that you just kind of created and came up with.

04:41Okay.

04:41All right.

04:41First concert you ever went to?

04:44St. Louis, The Division Bell.

04:46Look at you.

04:47That's awesome.

04:48Love that.

04:49All right.

04:49First crush, how old were you?

04:51And what was her first name?

04:53Oh, it was definitely Winnie Cooper off The Wonder Years.

04:57I love that.

04:59I love that.

04:59So funny.

05:00And finally, favorite Kenny Chesney song?

05:03Oh, man.

05:04Man, probably the first one that I think about when I was actually listening, when Kenny came on my radar,

05:11was probably When the Sun Goes Down, ironically.

05:13Okay.

05:14Because that's the name of the tour as well.

05:15Right.

05:16Well, this all came full circle.

05:17I love it.

05:18I know.

05:18Aww.

05:19I love it, man.

05:20Well, hey, listen, Zach.

05:21We know you're a busy guy.

05:22We're excited to see you on Saturday.

05:24It's going to be a great show.

05:25We're really looking forward to this co-headlining tour.

05:28And we will see you on Saturday.

05:30Thanks for the time, man.

05:31Absolutely.

05:31Thank you all.

05:32I look forward to seeing you out there.

05:33All right, brother.

05:33See you.

05:34See you.

05:34Take care.

05:35Have a good one.
