You’re hearing his voice and seeing his name more and more, so it’s time to get to know Zach Top!

1. He was born in Sunnyside, Washington on September 26th, 1997.

3. From there, Zach started a bluegrass band at age 7 called “Top String” with his siblings and later, other bluegrass bands before making the move to Nashville in 2021. Check him out singing some George Strait with his sister!

8. What artist does Zach like that you might be surprised to hear? He’s a big fan of Greta Van Fleet!

9. First concert? He told Cowboys and Indians Magazine, “It was at the county fair, and I brought my first girlfriend to see John Michael Montgomery opening for Dwight Yoakam.” Heck of a first show!
