Hailing from Oklahoma, GRAMMY® Award-winner Zach Bryan has risen to the forefront of country music as a once-in-a-generation voice. To date, he has garnered a total of 30 RIAA Gold & Platinum certifications, including the now 7x-Platinum “Something in the Orange," which earned a 2023 GRAMMY® Award nod for “Best Country Solo Performance.

In August 2023, he released his acclaimed self-titled album, receiving a nomination for "Best Country Album" at the 2024 GRAMMY® Awards. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart as well as Billboard’s Country, Rock & Alternative, Americana/Folk, and Rock charts. 2x-Platinum track “I Remember Everything" (feat. Kacey Musgraves) entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #1 before winning the 2024 GRAMMY® Award for "Best Country Duo/Group Performance." Soon after, Bryan released his 5-song EP Boys of Faith, featuring collaborations with Bon Iver and Noah Kahan. Last year, he was named Billboard's "Top New Artist" — the first country artist to claim the title — and took home three more Billboard Music Awards

Bryan's 2024 album The Great American Bar Scene emerged at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on the Top Country Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Americana/Folk Albums, and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts. With 21.8 billion global streams to date, Bryan is currently in the middle of his biggest headline tour to date, the Quittin Time 2024 Tour, which sees him play stadiums and major arenas throughout North America.
