ZBTB, the Zac Brown Tribute Band, returns to The Suffolk on Saturday, September 20, at 8 p.m. The group has established itself as the premier tribute to the chart-topping Zac Brown Band, becoming a fan favorite across Long Island.
ZBTB captures the sound and spirit of the original band while bringing its own energy and sense of family to each performance. From the Zac Brown Band’s 2008 breakout hit “Chicken Fried” to the crowd-pleasing anthem “Same Boat,” the band covers the full range of hits beloved by country music fans.
In true Zac Brown fashion, ZBTB also includes an eclectic mix of covers in its set list. Audiences can expect everything from “Enter Sandman” and “Ants Marching” to “There’s Nothing Holding Me Back” and “Little Lion Man.”
Band members hail from diverse musical backgrounds — including advanced music degrees, international tours, and even circus performances. Despite their different paths, they share a passion for live music and a bond built through years on the road. From pubs to concert halls, overseas military bases to beachside stages, their fanbase — known as the “ZBTB Social Club” — spans far and wide.
Tickets are $35 to $55 at thesuffolk.org. The Suffolk is located at 118 East Main Street in Riverhead.
