World-renowned musicians Zac Brown (Zac Brown Band) and Joe Walsh (The Eagles) are joining the 28th season of “The Voice” with a big surprise. The duo will guide contestants as “Mega Mentors” in one of the most critical stages of the competition, the “Knockouts” (Elimination Rounds).
“The Voice”, produced by NBC, is known as one of the most prestigious talent competitions in the music world. The new season will feature renowned names such as Reba McEntire, John Legend, Gwen Stefani, and Chance the Rapper on the judging panel, while the addition of Zac Brown and Joe Walsh will bring new energy and musical depth to the show. Zac Brown is known as one of the most powerful voices in the country music scene. The artist, who has won Grammy awards with the Zac Brown Band and countless hit songs, will guide the contestants in vocal technique, stage presence, and emotional interpretation. On the other hand, Joe Walsh, the guitarist and vocalist of the legendary The Eagles, is among the living legends of rock music. His experience, musical discipline, and stage charisma will be an inspiration to the “The Voice” contestants. Walsh’s advice, especially on guitar performances and stage energy, is considered an invaluable opportunity for young musicians. The “Knockouts” stage is known as one of the most challenging parts of the competition. In this stage, contestants try to maintain their place in their teams by performing in one-on-one duels. Mega Mentors will provide support to contestants in both musical coaching and stage strategy during this process. NBC officials stated that this season will be one of the most energetic and musically rich seasons in the history of “The Voice.” Zac Brown and Joe Walsh’s styles, which bring together different musical genres, will bring a powerful blend of country and rock music to the competition.
In a brief statement, Zac Brown said, “Working with new talent, mentoring them, and sharing the unifying power of music always excites me.” Joe Walsh stated, “Music is a lifelong journey. It is a great pleasure for me to guide young artists on this journey in this competition.”
