It will be colder weather for sure on Jan. 25. Zac Brown Band is coming to Roanoke Civic Center.

The Atlanta-based country/rock/jam act will be visiting the Roanoke Valley for the third time. Its previous shows were at Salem Civic Center and Salem Football Stadium.

At that first show, back in 2009, Brown told the crowd of 4.640, “We represent … what you hear, rather than what you see We’re proud to be ugly and ready to rock your face off.” The stadium show drew 8,876.

The band has been at it for a few years now, scoring hits with “Chicken Fried,” “Toes,” “Colder Weather” and more, while accumulating a fanbase that digs the Parrothead vibe as much as it does the jam scene.

Tickets are $69.50 and $59.50 and go on sale Friday via hometownbanktix.com or 877-482-8496.
