Hot Air: No official word, but Country Aircheck has learned that promotion for the Zac Brown Band has been brought in-house at Southern Ground as the label adds promotion reps Neda Tobin and Paul Williams to a team that already includes Mara Sidweber (CAT 6/22) and Chuck Swaney (CAT 6/29). Jeff Solima continues to work ZBB music in a consulting role. The move brings an end to the relationship with RPM Entertainment, which has handled ZBB promotion since the band's break with Bigger Picture (Breaking News 6/13). 

Tobin comes to Southern Ground from Red Light Management and previously worked at Lyric Street. Williams's background includes Skyville and Sony/Nashville.
