Zac Brown ‘going into debt’ to fund Las Vegas Sphere residency

You get what you give.

Zac Brown has revealed that he is taking on debt to fund his highly anticipated four-show residency at the Las Vegas Sphere later this year.

“Just going into debt to make it happen,” the “Knee Deep” country star, 46, told Us Weekly in an interview published Friday, July 25.

Brown’s four-concert run at the iconic Sin City venue is scheduled to kick off in December, and the first night will coincide with the release of the Zac Brown Band’s next album, “Love & Fear,” on Friday, Dec. 5.

But despite taking on debt to make the performances happen, the “Chicken Fried” crooner is still looking forward to what he and his band have planned for their countless fans.

“It’s a big moment in time,” Brown continued. “I want to be among the names of the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones and the bands that take that lifelong career impact fan journey to be able to do that.”

“This is our statement to try to step into that,” he added.

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter is also ready to take on the difficulty that comes with pulling off a concert series at the 20,000-capacity Sphere.

“Whatever adversity, I’m just like, ‘Okay, bring it,’” Brown said as he prepares for the shows. “There are lots of forces that are always trying to distract you from what you’re doing, and you just got to keep plowing, keep going.”

Unlike most music venues, the Las Vegas Sphere includes a visual element that immerses the audience in a multi-sensory experience.

Besides collecting images and clips to play alongside his songs, Brown revealed that he is also putting together a unique story for his fans.

“I hope they feel wonder,” he said. “Unpredictability is something we use in our live shows a lot. I love pulling out covers that no one would ever expect us to play; that’s super fun. This is the same thing visually, sonically – everything we’re doing.”

“We have all the audio finished. We’re putting the video pieces together, stitching it together. I’m finishing the story,” he continued. “I’m telling a lot of personal things about my life that I’ve never shared before.”

“Everything hard that we go through as human beings always ends up making us better in some way,” Brown added.

Plus, Brown teased a “theme of redemption” throughout each of the four upcoming shows.

“Taking people on a journey through things that are uncomfortable and then creating that dissonance and then that tension and release is really the art of what we’re doing,” he shared.

“I haven’t seen anything like what we’re doing there,” Brown concluded. “So, it’s really exciting.”

Shortly before opening up about his four-show residency at the Sphere, the country music icon revealed that he and his girlfriend, Kendra Scott, got engaged.

“We are so happy and grateful that we found each other,” Brown told People on Thursday, July 24.

The “Old Love Song” singer’s engagement to Scott, 51, comes less than two years after his contentious divorce from ex-wife Kelly Yazdi. 

“I feel great,” Brown said after proposing to Scott. “I got her good.”
