Grammy-award-winning country singer-songwriter Zach Bryan is in Vancouver this week, taking over Rogers Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Born in Japan and raised in Oklahoma, Bryan spent years in the military before moving on to a career in music via YouTube. Since then he's quickly risen in the public eye; his first album was released in August 2019.
Now on his fifth studio album, which was released July 4, he's headlining the "Quittin' Time Tour," which has been travelling North America since March. His Nov. 20 date at Rogers Arena is his last in Canada as part of this tour.
Opening up for Bryan are Matt Maeson and Levin Turner. Maeson, an alt-rock singer-songwriter, is known for his songs "Cringe" and "Hallucinogenics." Levi Turner is a 24-year-old singer-songwriter with a folksy, Americana style.
