Watch Zach Bryan Jam With Bruce Springsteen In New Jersey
Zach Bryan tapped New Jersey rock'n'roll godfather Bruce Springsteen for two guest appearances last night (July 20) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., providing an extra lift to the last of three sold-out shows at the stadium. Bryan brought out Springsteen for a version of the latter's 'Atlantic City,' which they'd previously performed in Philadelphia last summer. The performance also featured Kings of Leon singer Caleb Followill, whose band opened all three MetLife shows.

Fans greeted the artist with such a loud rendition of the signature 'Bruuuuuuce' chant that some attendees reportedly thought he was actually being booed. 'When I listen to your music, I'm like, 'If you put different production to this, it's a country song,'' Bryan said in a 2024 conversation with Springsteen for Rolling Stone. 'That's why I don't want to be a country musician. I don't want to be a country musician. Everyone calls me it. I want to be a songwriter, and you're quintessentially a songwriter. No one calls Bruce Springsteen a freaking rock musician, which you are one, but you're also an indie musician, you're also a country musician. You're all these things encapsulated in one man. And that's what songwriting is.' Bryan has a handful of major concerts on tap before he plays Sept. 27 at the University of Michigan football stadium in Ann Arbor, Mi. The show, the first ever to be held at the venerable venue, is expected to draw a sellout crowd of 112,000 people. To see our running list of the top 100 greatest rock stars of all time, click here.

Zach Bryan at MetLife Stadium: Everything you need to know about tickets, setlist, more
Country superstar Zach Bryan may be from Oklahoma, but he sure knows the backstreets of New Jersey. Bryan — who plays Friday, July 18; Saturday, July 19; and Sunday, July 20, on his Quittin' Time Tour at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford — recorded a song called 'Oak Island' for his 2024 'The Great American Bar Scene' album. Fans assumed the track was about Oak Island, North Carolina, but it actually refers to the Oak Island Yard train depot in the Ironbound section of Newark. 'We were playing in Brooklyn. I was living on a bus in parking lot in Secaucus, NJ, for two days. We passed a shipyard called Oak Island,' explained Bryan on social media when a fan asked him about the backstory of the song. The Kings of Leon and the Front Bottoms, Jersey guys, will open the shows. Another Jersey guy, Bruce Springsteen, joined Bryan on stage last year in Brooklyn and Philadelphia. If the Boss does play with Bryan at MetLife this weekend, he'll pass Oak Island on the New Jersey Turnpike on the way up.

Zach Bryan feud escalates as John Moreland claims getting kicked off album is 'cooler' than being on it
Print Close By Stephanie Giang-Paunon Published May 14, 2025 The feud between Zach Bryan and singer-songwriter John Moreland has escalated. Moreland took to social media earlier this week to respond to the drama in a scathing video after Bryan removed their duet track off his album. "OK, so I'll just say one more thing about it… I'm gonna get back to my real life and let y'all have fun on the internet. When I was asked to be on that album, I did not know that dude. Never met him. Just a really big artist from where I'm from [Tulsa, Oklahoma], asking me to be on a record. Cool," Moreland explained in an Instagram video. ZACH BRYAN CALLS OUT FELLOW COUNTRY SINGER, TAKES DOWN DUET AFTER BEING MOCKED FOR $350 MILLION RECORD DEAL "First time I met him, we recorded the song. Like, didn't have the greatest impression, but no big deal – whatever, fine. Then we record the song. The album comes out like a month later. I had met him once at that point," Moreland continued. The two country singers wrote and recorded a duet called "Memphis; The Blues" on Bryan's 2024 album "The Great American Bar Scene." The fellow country artist claimed that if he was asked to be on Bryan's album today, he would decline the offer, saying, "I wouldn't do it. I don't want to be on an album with a dude who is a d---head to my wife and my friends right in front of me every time I see him." "I don't want to be on an album with a dude who I've heard tell borderline racist jokes more than once… I don't like that person," Moreland said. "I don't like that person." COUNTRY STAR ZACH BRYAN'S EX CALLS OUT HIS 'DEAFENING' SILENCE AFTER ACCUSING HIM OF EMOTIONAL ABUSE Moreland concluded, "That's who thinks I'm an a--hole? Fine. As far as I'm concerned, getting kicked off a Zach Bryan album is way f---ing cooler than being on a Zach Bryan album." In addition to his video dig, Moreland shared a selfie on Instagram and wrote, "Development/observations. Been stopped on the street a couple times but only by people who wanted to yell 'f--- zach bryan' at me. The only people who seem upset at me are little fanboi losers. Goin pretty good." The feud began when Moreland criticized Bryan's $350 million record deal last Friday. "$350 M is a lot to pay for the f---in off-brand version of me," Moreland wrote to his Instagram story. "Y'all have a great day." Bryan had made a new deal with his label, Warner Records, to extend his contract to include at least two more albums, according to Variety. The outlet claimed that he has also either sold or is currently in the process of selling his publishing catalog, and that together, the two deals total $350 million. Bryan shared a screenshot of Moreland's comment, adding a response of his own. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

Zach Bryan, John Moreland feud explained: Here's why Bryan removed a song with the Oklahoma folk artist
Tulsa, Oklahoma singer-songwriters Zach Bryan and John Moreland's song "Memphis; the Blues" has been removed from streaming services in the midst of an ongoing feud between the two artists. The two collaborators took jabs at one another over social media following the May 5 news that Bryan, a 29-year-old country singer, signed a $350 million publishing deal, selling his catalog and reupping with Warner Records. After some back-and-forth posts over the weekend, Moreland accused Bryan of inappropriate and objectionable behavior. Here's how the conflict between the two singers began. Moreland, a 29-year-old folk musician known for tracks "You Don't Care for Me Enough to Cry" and "Break My Heart Sweetly," had some thoughts to share about Bryan's multi-million dollar deal. '$350M is a lot of money to pay for the f***in off-brand version of me,' he said on social media in a since-deleted post. 'Y'all have a great day.' On May 9, Bryan removed the track from streaming services. He said he'd be rereleasing the track "Memphis; the Blues" later, a tune that appeared on Bryan's 2024 record "The Great American Bar Scene," but without Moreland's feature. The track had garnered over 20 million streams on Spotify and was one of Moreland's top-streaming tracks ahead of its removal. Bryan shared Moreland's comments on his social media, saying, 'Yooo just saw this from an artist I've always respected and supported. Not trying to be dramatic but refuse to have anyone with a problem with me on my records. "Replacing 'Memphis the Blues.' If it goes down for a bit just know this is the reason! No hard feelings! Confused as s***, Tulsans look out for Tulsans," he said. "Last thing I say on it! Not partial to arguing with butt hurt grown men.' After Bryan's post, Moreland responded in a pair of videos on his Instagram stories. ' As far as I'm concerned, getting kicked off a Zach Bryan album is way fucking cooler than being on a Zach Bryan album," he said on May 10. 'Oh, guys, the Zachies are coming after me,' Moreland said, referring to Bryan's fans. 'They're gonna ruin me. They're gonna cancel my small-time folk-music career that I've had since they were in elementary school.' Moreland explained that he had never met Bryan when he was asked to record the track "Memphis; the Blues" with him. Upon their first introduction, Moreland did not get the best impression from Bryan. "I don't like this mother*****r," Moreland said after describing more more time with Bryan in the recording process. 'Am I supposed to be upset? If I was asked to be on the album today, I wouldn't do it," he said. "I don't want to be on an album with a dude who is a d***head to my wife and my friends right in front of me every time I see him. I don't want to be on an album with a dude who I've heard tell borderline racist jokes more than once. "I don't want to be on an album with a dude who brings a 19-year-old girl in the bar, and then when they tell him she can't be in there, looks at me like I'm supposed to have his f***ing back," Moreland said. "I don't like that person.' Moreland, a respected musician in the Americana space, has released ten records since 2008, with his most recent studio record, "Visitor," dropping in April 2024. Bryan, a notable country chart-topper, is best known for his tracks "Something in the Orange" and "I Remember Everything" with Kacey Musgraves. The Tennessean has reached out to reps for both John Moreland and Zach Bryan for comment. Bryan's camp responded with no comment. Bryan's name has been in the headlines multiple times over the past year for a number of conflicts. In November, Bryan posted online that Ye, formerly Kanye West, is better than Taylor Swift. Swifties did not respond well, and Bryan apologized for the post, saying he "respects her so much as a musician."

Grammy-winning singer blasted as 'd***head' by former collaborator
Popular country music stars Zach Bryan and John Moreland are embroiled in a public feud. The two roots-rock singer-songwriters are both from Tulsa, Oklahoma, so Moreland felt it was a natural fit when Bryan reached out to work together in 2023. The pair collaborated on a song called Memphis; The Blues on Bryan's 2024 hit album The Great American Bar Scene, elevating Moreland's career. Bryan is among the most popular artists in the US, with major artists like Bruce Springsteen and John Mayer also featuring on his album, but the exposure came at a personal cost for Moreland. News recently broke that Bryan was selling his publishing rights to a new company called the Merrit Group and inking a new two-album record deal with Warner for a staggering $ 350 million (£278 million). Moreland responded to that news, which created a lot of buzz in the country music scene, with a post on Instagram that read: '$350 M is a lot to pay for the f***in off-brand version of me y'all have a great day.' After re-signing with Warner Records and selling his publishing catalog for $350 million, Zach Bryan was publicly criticized by John Moreland, who called him an 'off-brand version of me.' Recently, Zach Bryan took to his Instagram story to announce that he will be removing the… — Country Central (@CountryCentral) May 9, 2025 Bryan then shared the story on his account, writing: 'yooo just saw this from an artist I've always respected and supported. Not trying to be dramatic but refuse to have anyone with a problem with me on my records. Replacing Memphis the Blues, if it goes down for a bit just know this is the reason! No hard feelings ! Confused as shit, Tulsans look out for Tulsans!' Bryan also added: 'Last thing I say on it! Not partial to arguing with butt hurt grown men.' Bryan then removed Memphis and The Blues from streaming services on Friday. In response, Moreland shared another story Saturday, writing, 'Oh, guys, the Zachies are coming after me. They're gonna ruin me. They're gonna cancel my small-time folk-music career that I've had since they were in elementary school.' Moreland then posted a long video discussing his feelings about Bryan in more depth. He shared that he initially agreed to appear on the album without ever meeting Bryan: ' Just a really big artist from where I'm from, asking me to be on a record. Cool.' He continued, explaining their first meeting took place during the recording session, and though the artist admits he 'didn't have the greatest impression,' he didn't think much of it at the time. However, after several more encounters, his opinion shifted dramatically. 'At this point, I've hung out with him five, six times. I don't like this motherf****r,' he said. The artist detailed specific grievances, accusing Bryan of being disrespectful to his wife and friends, telling 'borderline racist jokes,' and engaging in inappropriate behavior, such as bringing an under 21-year-old girl into a bar and expecting the artist to defend him. 'If I was asked to be on the album today, I wouldn't do it,' he said plainly. 'I don't want to be on an album with a dude who… I've heard tell borderline racist jokes more than once.' Ultimately, the artist framed his removal from the album not as a loss, but as a relief: 'Getting kicked off a Zach Bryan album is way cooler than being on a Zach Bryan album.' This is not the first time someone close to Bryan has complained about his problematic behaviour, with the country artist going through a very public breakup with Barstool podcast host Brianna (Chickenfry) LaPaglia last year. More Trending During an episode of the BFFs Podcast, LaPaglia alleged that the singer was emotionally abusive. 'The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this dude,' she said. 'I'm still scared right now because I'm scared of him. My brain's rewired and I'm scared to make him mad.' She also alleged that Bryan asked her to sign an NDA, offering her $12million (£9.06) and an apartment to 'not talk about the relationship.'
