Zach Bryan Shatters Records, Inks Massive Deals, and Teases New Projects

Zach Bryan BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Zach Bryan has had a whirlwind few days that could well reshape both his career and the country music record books. Rolling into Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Bryan performed for more than 112000 fans, shattering the all-time attendance record for a ticketed concert in the United States. IQ Magazine and AOL Entertainment both confirm that this show surpassed even George Strait’s legendary Texas A and M gig, making Bryan’s appearance at The Big House an instant country music milestone. Not content to claim history solo, Bryan invited John Mayer to the stage for a show-stopping rendition of the Grateful Dead’s Friend of the Devil, a moment that exploded across social media thanks to enthusiastic fan footage on YouTube and widespread praise for the performance. In true grateful headliner fashion, Bryan took to Instagram Stories after the show, posting a personal thank you to the crew, security, chefs, camera operators, and everyone involved in the event, promising Michigan fans that he’ll be back for more.

But as remarkable as his onstage feats have been, Bryan’s offstage business activity is arguably even more monumental. Variety reports that Bryan concluded two major deals this week: he re-upped his contract with Warner Records for at least two more albums, quieting weeks of speculation about whether he might leave the label. Simultaneously, Bryan inked a blockbuster $350 million agreement to sell his publishing catalog to a new company called the Merrit Group, helmed by music industry veteran Cameron Strang. Although representatives for Bryan and the companies involved are keeping details close to the vest, sources insist these deals vault Bryan into rare air, cementing his status as one of music’s biggest earners and influencers.

On the creative front, Bryan made waves online by teasing a film project titled Motorbreath, which he billed as a documentary of sorts chronicling the making of his final major label album, with an assist from a voice note by Matthew McConaughey on Instagram. This blend of music, film, and high-profile partnerships suggests Bryan has ambitions beyond just chart-topping singles. While the past few weeks have seen him embroiled in a social media spat with fellow country singer Gavin Adcock — a feud that’s caused some buzz but so far doesn’t seem to threaten his upward momentum — Zach Bryan’s latest moves on stage, in business, and in the entertainment sphere are locking in a legacy that will be discussed for years to come.
