Zac Brown gives away $43 million in free cruises | Music City Minute

Well fan my britches, Zac Brown just pulled off the biggest surprise since the Oprah Winfrey show. In case that mental tab just will not refresh, perhaps this will help jog your memory, “Oh my goodness, you get a car! Everybody gets a car!” In that now infamous episode, Ms. Oprah gave away 276 brand new cars. In total, the gift added up to nearly $8 million. So how in the heck did Zac Brown top that epic giveaway? With free tickets of course! “And tonight, we’re gonna do something that even Jimmy would say is crazy, I’m buying every single person here a cruise for two people!” Yes sir, every fan who was at the sold out Zac Brown Band show at Fenway Park on August 2, received a free Margaritaville at Sea cruise for two, valued at just over $43 million. Incredibly, the generous and unforgettable gesture is widely considered “the largest audience gift in live entertainment history.”

I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
