Here Are the 5 Best Moments From Zach Top’s Ryman Auditorium Show

Zach Top performed a show at the Ryman Auditorium on Feb. 28. Here are the best moments.

Washington native Top’s brand of tunes — steeped in the influence of ‘80s and ‘90s country music, along with bluegrass — has swiftly pushed him to the forefront of a new generation of neo-traditional artists who are seeing their careers ascend. Throughout the evening, both musicians offered a heady blend of their own music, mixed with a plethora of covers of hits from Jones, Keith Whitley, Merle Haggard, George Strait, Randy Travis and Sammy Kershaw. He nodded to those roots by putting his stellar guitar picking skills on display — along with the musicianship of his band — performing “In a World Gone Wrong,” followed by a solo version of his the Ricky Skaggs classic “Don’t Cheat in Our Hometown.” Top recorded that song as a collab with Billy Strings, who was playing his own headlining show that same night across the street at the Bridgestone Arena.
