Need it ASAP.
It’s hard to imagine a more fascinating artist in today’s country music landscape than Zach Bryan. In a six-year span, the “Something in the Orange” singer has gone from recording his debut album, DeAnn, in a Florida Airbnb and scoring viral hits online to selling his publishing catalog for a staggering $350 million and, most notably, setting the record for highest-attended concert in U.S. history when he performed to a crowd of 112,408 at Michigan Stadium.
Though there’s no doubt that artists such as Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson and Cody Jinks were the forefathers of the current independent and alternative country renaissance we’ve currently been experiencing over the better half of a decade, there’s no denying that Bryan was the one who blew the door off the hinges, so to speak.
One thing that’s become incredibly clear throughout the years is just how willing Bryan is to stretch himself sonically in terms of features. In the past four years alone, his list of collaborators includes but is not limited to the likes of Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer, Kacey Musgraves, The Lumineers, Noah Kahan, Sierra Ferrell, Bon Iver, The War and Treaty, Maggie Rogers, Charles Wesley Godwin, Kings of Leon, Noeline Hofmann, Watchhouse, Jack Van Cleaf, Gabriella Rose and John Moreland (before an online feud resulted in “Memphis; The Blues” getting removed and re-recorded with bandmate, J.R. Carroll).
Last month, Bryan expanded the star-studded list of collaborators even further this year with the release of his new EP, Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, enlisting both the legendary Turnpike Troubadours as well as the alt-pop star and 11x Grammy nominee, Lana Del Rey.
In tandem with the release of the aforementioned EP, Bryan announced his massive 2027 stadium tour of the same name, taking on a hefty 15 shows at the likes of the Chicago Bears’ Soldier Field, the Indianapolis Colts’ Lucas Oil Stadium, the Tennessee Titans’ Nissan Stadium, the Philadelphia Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Field, the Atlanta Falcons’ Mercedes-Benz Stadium and more from April to July of 2027.
Per usual, he’s employing a wide variety of legends and up-and-coming stars as openers throughout the tour, including Ryan Bingham, John Fogerty, Gabriella Rose, Vance Joy, Fey Fili and Emma Ogier.
In particular, the inclusion of Fogerty is looking to spawn more than just a few shows and a potential live collaboration. Shortly after the Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs Tour, the former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman would take to Instagram to promote his dates.
In addition to promoting the tour, Fogerty would also upload a photo of him and Bryan together outside of a house, letting it slip that they wrote a song together recently — with more details “coming soon.”
“And did we mention we wrote a song together? More details coming soon. Stay tuned!”
It should go without saying that Fogerty is nothing short of a songwriting powerhouse, penning some of the greatest tracks to impact the southern rock genre in the ’60s. During his time with Creedence Clearwater Revival, he wrote each and every one of the band’s greatest hits, including the likes of “Fortunate Son,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Proud Mary,” “Green River,” “Down on the Corner,” “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” and many more.
His solo work after Creedence Clearwater Revival’s disbanding in 1972 is also impressive, penning hits like the baseball classic, “Centerfield,” “The Old Man Down The Road” and “Rock and Roll Girls,” as well as scoring certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for albums such as Centerfield (Platinum), Eye of the Tiger (Gold) and Blue Moon Swamp (Gold).
As of now, there’s no further information surrounding the Bryan-Fogerty collaboration, but it’s safe to say it’s going to be another all-timer from the Oklahoma native, who has been teaming up with some legends over the past few years.
