Zac Brown Band’s Southern Ground Music & Food Festival is coming back to Charleston this year.  The two day outdoor festival will be held on Saturday, October 20 and 21st at Blackbaud Stadium on Daniel Island.

There is a two stage set up allowing for the music to go on seamlessly. Performers include nightly performances by Zac Brown Band with Gregg Allman and John Mayer plus The Avett Brothers, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, The Charlie Daniels Band, Michael Franti & Spearhead, The Wailers, Jerry Douglas, Los Lonely Boys, JJ Grey & Mofro, Clay Cook, Coy Bowles & The Fellowship, The James Arthur Band, John Driskell Hopkins & Balsam Range and Southern Ground Artists such as Blackberry Smoke, Nic Cowan, Dugas, Sonia Leigh, Levi Lowrey, The Wheeler Boys and The Wood Brothers.

In addition to awesome music, concertgoers have the pleasure of enjoying gourmet cuisine. Under the helm of Southern Ground Executive Chef Rusty Hamlin, this foodie event includes offerings from “Cookie,” Zac Brown Band’s tractor trailer-sized mobile kitchen. Additionally, Southern cuisine will be showcased by chefs that include Chef RJ Cooper of ROGUE 24, Chef Kevin Johnson of The Grocery, Chef Michelle Weaver of Charleston Grill, Chef David Guas of Bayou Bakery. To feast on these great eats, you have to purchase seats in the Front Porch Stage Boxes.

While Charleston has a great local music scene, for years some have complained about larger bands skipping over Charleston citing the city not as convenient to pass through for tours. Well, this week, Grammy Award-winning Zac Brown Band changes that by bringing Southern Ground Music and Food Festival to Charleston on October 21-23 at Blackbaud Stadium on Daniel Island. Zac Brown Band will play each night of three-day festival as well as an array of music talent from My Morning Jacket and Warren Haynes Band to Train, Fitz and The Tantrums and Del McCoury to name only a few.

Billed as much a food festival as music, some of the experiences for foodies include Front Porch Stage Boxes that feature seating on-stage close to the performers with a four-course gourmet meal prepared by Southern Ground Executive Chef Rusty Hamlin and James Beard Award-winners Sean Brock (Executive Chef – Husk, McCrady’s, Charleston, SC), Mike Lata (Chef/Partner – FIG, Charleston, SC), and RJ Cooper (Owner/Executive Chef – Rogue 24, Washington, DC) as well as complimentary drinks including premium beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks. Having had the pleasure of attending a Zac Brown Eat & Greet where Chef Rusty prepared a feast pre-show in “Cookie”, the band’s mobile kitchen trailer, I know the food element of the weekend will be fantastic as well.
