Braves utility infielder Chase d'Arnaud is an aspiring rocker with his band, The Chase d'Arnaud Band.

The trio's first single, "Honeymoon Baby," was released a day after he was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to Atlanta in early May.

Next month, the band will be playing famed Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee on the Braves' June 9 off day.

"We're really excited about that," d'Arnaud told FoxSports. "So for that to be our very first gig, someone there must have heard us, liked our music and reached out to our label, and then went ahead and coordinated it."

On the field, the 2008 Pirates draft pick has proven to be a "valuable piece" for the Braves.

For those who can't make it Bonnaroo, the Braves are bringing the music festival to you with two postgame concerts at Turner Field from festival performers.

On Tuesday, May 31, Atlanta-based Stokeswood will perform in the Fan Plaza. The Quaildogs, an Atlatnta folk/alternative country band, will follow with a performance on June 1.

The Braves also will be giving away passes to the famed music festival. Registration is required at Turner Field's Fan Plaza between May 29-June 2, for a chance to win.
