Watch Zac Brown Band Create a “Turbine of Energy” With Performance of “My Old Man” on the “Today” Show

Fresh off the May 12 release of their fifth studio album, Welcome Home, Zac Brown Band stopped by the Today show plaza today (May 16) to perform “My Old Man” as part of the Citi Concert Series.

After Zac briefly chatted with hosts Matt Lauer, Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie about writing all of the album’s songs specifically for the project, Zac mentioned feeling the love from the crowd as something that gives him energy.

“I’m always reminded how blessed we are,” said Zac. “Every time I get to come out onstage, I kinda forget, you know. You’re at home chasing kids around and doing things, and then you come out, and just to have all the love—I feel all the love from all of you. We love to give it back. We try to create that turbine of energy together every time.”

With that, ZBB broke into the album’s lead single, “My Old Man,” which is currently No. 18 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.
