Zac Brown will be presented with a huge honor at the upcoming Country Radio Seminar next month in Nashville. The Country Radio Broadcasters announced that Brown will receive the CRS 2017 Artist Humanitarian Award.
Created in 1990, The Artist Humanitarian Award is to honor those that have put forth extraordinary humanitarian efforts throughout their career. Zac Brown certainly meets the criteria, and then some, as he is involved with several beneficial causes and charities. The talented singer/songwriter works closely with his own foundation, Camp Southern Ground, as well as GRAMMYS on The Hill, GRAMMY U, MusiCares, Robin Hood Foundation and The USO.
Past recipients of the Artist Humanitarian Award include Lady Antebellum, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Trace Adkins, Randy Owen, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Brooks & Dunn, Reba, Vince Gill, Garth Brooks, Charlie Daniels and more.
In addition to Zac Brown’s honor, former Chairman and CEO of Greater Media Peter Smyth will be presented with the CRS 2017 Tom Rivers Humanitarian Award. The presentations will occur on Wednesday, February 22.
