Zac Brown Band released a new song called "Warrior" on Friday (8/9). “Warrior,” pays tribute to the men and women of the US Armed Forces and will be included on the band's upcoming studio album, The Owl, to be released on September 20, 2019.

Zac Brown said, “Before we wrote the song ‘Warrior,’ I interviewed my friend Alexander R. Oliver who has over 21 years of dedication to our country in Special Ops. He now spends his time helping other veterans with things only they can relate to. He is a true warrior and a wordsmith, so I took some of his story and words and tried to channel a glimpse of what it means to be a modern day warrior."

Zac Brown Band is currently touring this summer on their 2019 “The Owl Tour,” in support of the upcoming new album release.
