ON THE COVER:
ZACH BRYAN

Warner breakout Zach Bryan is one of the most exciting new country artists to emerge in recent memory—but he didn’t come out of Nashville. The Oklahoma native is the leading exemplar of “red dirt" country, and he’s racking up big streams (with cuts like the stellar “Something in the Orange”) while cultivating rapturous crowds and Grammy heat. One thing’s for sure: Whatever kinda dirt this publication represents, Zach doesn’t want it on his boots.
