Zach Bryan Buys Former Saint Jean Baptiste Church, Plans to Transform It Into Jack Kerouac Center

Zach Bryan has bought the former Saint Jean Baptiste building to aid in making the space to honor writer Jack Kerouac.

After recently re-upping his deal with Warner Records, the Grammy winner has now purchased the historic former Saint Jean Baptiste Church building in Lowell, Mass., and is set to transform it into the previously-announced Jack Kerouac Center. “We’ve been working on this deal with Zach and his team for several months,” Sylvia Cunha, who leads marketing and business development for the Jack Kerouac estate, said in a statement. Bryan has long been a fan of Kerouac, who is known as a pioneer of the Beat Generation and lauded for his books including On The Road, Big Sur, and The Dharma Bums.
