Zac Brown Band’s newest project aims to serve as a source of “much-needed escape” and freedom.

No Wake Zone made its debut on Friday (September 20), “capturing the essence of summertime,” per a press release issued to announce the EP’s arrival. The collection includes previously-released — and award-nominated — tracks like “Tie Up” and “Pirates & Parrots” featuring Mac McAnally, a heartfelt tribute to late music legend Jimmy Buffett, who died last year. He was 76. No Wake Zone also features a rendition of “I Lost It” by Lucinda Williams and more.
