Zac Brown Band releases their sixth studio album The Owl today (9/20).

The album name is inspired by the lore surrounding the great horned owl, which can see perfectly at night, making it a reliable guide, even during dark times.

Zac shares, “Our music has always been a melting pot and lived outside of any one single category, The Owl is no exception. The collaborators we worked with on this album have been on my wish list for a long time and when everyone brings something new and different to the table, something special comes out of it. These songs are rooted in the raw authenticity our fans expect, but they also explore the unexpected. The Owl has been a long time in the making and we’re excited it’s finally here."

Brown posted to Instagram this morning, "NEW ALBUM — #TheOwl is out now!"
