Zac Brown Band up for another award

By Ken Stanford Contributing Editor
UNDATED -Less than a month after taking home a country music award as top new vocal group, northeast Georgia's Zac Brown Band is up for another award.

The group is one of eight finalists for USA Weekend's Breakthrough Video of the Year Award.

The Zac Brown Band includes namesake, Zac Brown, a native of Dahlonega, and John Hopkins, a Gainesville native.

The group was named top new vocal group of the year earlier this month at the 44th Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. They had a number one hit - Chicken Fried - last year.

Voting on the USA WEEKEND award can be done at cmt.com. First-round voting closes at noon EDT May 11. The deciding round of voting takes place May 19-June 15. The winner will be announced June 17 at the Country Music Television (CMT) Music Awards.
