Zac Brown Band has added a very special Music City show to its tour calendar. The group will play Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on September 22 for an intimate, one-of-a-kind concert experience.

The show will be extra meaningful because a portion of the proceeds are set to benefit Hop on a Cure, a foundation to help fund research for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. The effort was established by band member John Driskell “Hop” Hopkins, who opened up earlier this year about his ALS diagnosis.

“Playing in Nashville, my home away from home, is always something special,” frontman Zac Brown says of the upcoming show. “This particular one is meaningful because we’re raising awareness and funds for one of our very own through Hop on a Cure.”

He adds that the band has been feeling the support from fans ever since they announced John’s diagnosis. “We see all the love and support Hop has received thus far so we’re gonna bring the house down and show folks a good time in appreciation,” Zac adds.

Tickets go on sale Friday, but members of ZBB’s “Zamily” fan club will have access to a special presale beginning Tuesday.
