Hook & Barrel Magazine®, The Lifestyle Magazine for Modern Outdoorsmen™, is excited to kick off the new year with country music singer and songwriter Zac Brown gracing its cover. In the feature, Brown discusses family, philanthropy, his genre-mixing approach to music, and his love of the outdoors.

“Putting Zac Brown on the cover to kick off the new year is something we’re incredibly excited about,” said John J. Radzwilla, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Hook & Barrel. “Zac lives the same lifestyle our readers do — he hunts, he fishes, and he truly respects the outdoors. He brings together music, culture, and the outdoors in a way that crosses genres and interests, giving everyone something to connect with and making him a perfect fit for Hook & Barrel.”

The compelling content continues in Hook & Barrel’s January/February issue with an on-location exclusive interview with Franco Gussalli Beretta and his son Carlo, exploring the history of the world’s oldest firearms company. Other highlights include punching tags with pro fighter and hunter Chad Mendes, getting the drop on Texas alt-country band The Droptines, touring the world’s top five ice bars, and reviewing the latest and greatest pistols, rifles, and shotguns.

The January/February issue of Hook & Barrel Magazine will be available at partnered outdoor retailers nationwide beginning December 26, 2025, and can also be purchased here.
