I’m so out of touch!!

My 18 year old DD wants to take her boyfriend’s 16 year old sister to a Zach Bryan concert.

What sort of crowd would he attract? I know nothing about him.

I don’t know what to think about my daughter being responsible for someone else’s daughter all in the name of impressing her boyfriend 😱

He’s a country star. Crowd will a mixture of all ages, as rule a country fans are generally really friendly.

They'll be fine with country music, DD went to see Morgan Wallen at BST and said the crowd atmosphere was brilliant.

BeachOrBeech · 05/12/2025 22:08

This is great news, thank you!

Country music fans are the best crowd. I’m at country gigs most weeks and such a nice, friendly vibe, she’ll be fine

BeachOrBeech · 05/12/2025 22:09

Thank you very much for this, I am relieved 🙂

I was at Wallen the crowd was great just lots of people dancing and enjoying themselves.

BeachOrBeech · 05/12/2025 22:14

Well if Mrs Darcy approves, I am satisfied 🙂

You asked. Here's everything i know.

He's incredibly talented, great voice, great songwriter. I went to see him in June in Dublin with my sons (big fans). Fab night. Massive band. Varied age in crowd. Loads of girls wearing tiny shorts and cowboy boots.

Best songs are Something in the orange, nine ball, pink skies, revival, oklahoma smokeshow... there are more but I can't think right now.

Zach himself is a bit 'problematic' but I think it's most drink related. He has recently stopped drinking and released a song (or a snippet of one, not sure) criticising ICE, so he got a bit of republican backlash (dodgy ground for country singers but just fine by me). He is known for tweeting things and deleting in the morning. He got famous quite quickly whilst in the army (or marines) after posting videos on YouTube. He's still pretty young and not very media savvy, might have a bit of pstd or something.

His problems before largely centre around his ex girlfriend (Brianna 'chickenfry' LaPaglia) who is a youtuber (or similar) and a bit of an attention seeker. I did a bit of a deep dive about 6 months ago on what he's supposed to have done (can't remember it all) but I think it's largely he broke it off, she posted loads of videos about the break-up and then claimed he was abusive and he tried to pay her $12million to stop her talking or something. I don't think she has said he was physically abusive, more controlling (said he was embarrassed because she wore a see-through dress to some red carpet event). He also got into a row recently with some other country singer at a festival and tried to fight him. Dunno if this was before or after giving up drinking.

I don't think he's an angel but I don't believe he's a bad guy either. Just made some silly decisions. Yes, I bought more tickets to see him again.

I know that's not what you were asking but your subject line triggered that response, lol.

bodyofproof · 05/12/2025 22:27

Look up something in the orange on YouTube. It’s one of my favourite songs

AnotherNam · 05/12/2025 22:30

I hope they already have tickets as otherwise they have no chance. I was in the queue for release at 10am today and they sold out before I got to the front of the queue

Sent you a pm.

I’m a 38 year old mum and I’d love to see him 😂

Spanglybangles · 05/12/2025 22:48

I love Zach Bryan, amongst others. My kids mock my love of country music, but it’s having such a moment in the UK right now, and I am right here for it.

This is incredibly helpful. I had googled and got the feeling he was “complicated” and wasn’t sure if his followers reflected that. This context really helps, thank you.

I have listened and like what I heard, which will mortify DD and maybe put her off. Perhaps I’ll get the tickets 😁

They have, I think. I was informed after they had been bought. Because she’s 18 and she’s an adult and I’m just ridiculous and what do I know about ANYTHING? 😳

Except the reason I was told was because she needed me to work out how she can get there 😋

Well I’m fine if the audience is basically Mumsnet. Which it sounds like it might be!
