ZBB Talk College Football Obsession And Cover Song Fails

Coy Bowles and John Driskell Hopkins are two of the longer tenured members of the Zac Brown Band. These two very talented musicians have seen and experienced quite a bit during their journey to stardom.  Before they took the stage at SPAC on Saturday night, Coy and John from the Zac brown Band spent a few minutes backstage talking about the bands' obsession with college football and a few ambitious cover song attempts, that didn't turn out so well when they hit the stage.

Coy and John were a lot of fun to talk to.  Our interview backstage at SPAC, took place at a time when college football Saturday was in full throat.  From our interview spot, you could clearly see band members and road crew huddled around a big TV,  watching college football, and I figured this was as good a time as any to ask them about Zac and the boys' obsession with it.  The conversation then switched to their incredible musical abilities and risks they take on-stage when performing some cover songs.  Admittedly, they've had plenty of up, and plenty of downs and they shared with us some humorous stories of cover song fails.
