Fox411: Zac Brown Band returns to country roots with new album 'Welcome Home'

Zac Brown Band has been traveling the country for their "Out in the Middle Tour" and just announced they will also be heading an ALS benefit show in Nashville next month. 

The show will take place at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee on Thursday, September 22. John Driskell Hopkins, a member of Zac Brown Band, was diagnosed with ALS in December 2021 and shared the news in May. 

"Playing in Nashville, our home away from home, is always something special," the band wrote on their Instagram post announcing the show. "This particular one is meaningful because we're raising awareness and funds for one of our very own through @hoponacure."
