The Zac Brown Band has welcomed a new member to the fold.

According to ET, Caroline Jones is now officially a full-time member of the GRAMMY-winning group, making her the first and only female.

Jones previously joined the group on their 2017 tour as an opening act.

Zac told ET, “It feels like Caroline has been part of Zac Brown Band for years. She has done a few tours with us and has also been in the recording studio creating with us. She is family and a badass musician.”

Jones shared, “If you had told me five years ago that I would be a part of the band, I would have never believed you. I am extremely proud to share the stage with such a diverse and gifted group of musicians, each of whom brings craftsmanship and unique strengths to the band.”

After 3 years as their opening act and 2 years touring in the band, I am honored to be joining the @zacbrownband as an official member.

Exciting (and busy!) times ahead as I perform and create with ZBB while continuing to build my own career.

Thank you @etnow 🤍 https://t.co/dbfPu9Ociq
