Grammy winner Zac Brown might have found a new vocation: TV special narrator.
The country music star will make his television voiceover debut in “On a Mission: Atlanta Rising,” a profile of Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC owner Arthur Blank.
The one-hour program airs Saturday at 2 p.m. ET on NBC and will examine Blank’s personal and professional life from his childhood through February’s Super Bowl defeat and beyond.
The co-founder of Home Depot, Blank is one of the most powerful owners in the NFL.
“It was such an honor when I was asked to be a part of this project,” said Brown, a Georgia native and leader of the multiplatinum-selling Zac Brown Band that has had four consecutive No. 1 country albums. He became friendly with Blank through mutual philanthropic efforts in Atlanta.
“Arthur is a great man doing so many great things. He has a huge heart and strives to help communities and people grow to reach their full potential.”
Blank is a supporter of Brown’s Camp Southern Ground, which serves children ages 7 to 17 with programs that “challenge, educate and inspire.” He introduced the band at a December benefit for the camp.
