Country artist Zach Top is nominated in the New Artist of the Year category at the 58th Annual CMA Awards. Named one of the “hottest acts right now” (Rolling Stone), this is Top’s first nomination at the awards.
The recognition follows the release of Top’s widely praised debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music—out now on LEO33. Produced by Carson Chamberlain (Billy Currington, Easton Corbin), the record garnered over 3.5 million streams in just its first week and received widespread acclaim, The Tennessean said it’s full of “star-making tunes,” while Country Central praised, “Cold Beer & Country Music is a masterclass in traditional country music…With a record this strong, Zach Top has proven himself as a standout rising star in this format and a premier vocalist in country music.” Adding to a breakthrough year, Top recently took home the Discovery Artist of the Year at the 2024 MusicRow Awards.
Known for his live performances, Top will be on tour through the end of the year with Lainey Wilson on her “Country’s Cool Again Tour” and will also headline select shows of his own. Upcoming stops include Fort Worth’s Billy Bob’s, Lubbock’s United Supermarkets Arena, Pittsburgh’s Petersen Events Center and Oklahoma City’s Paycom Center among many others. Check out the full tour itinerary below. Full details can be found at www.zachtop.com/tour.
Raised in Sunnyside, WA, Top grew up listening to classic country music while tending to livestock on family’s ranch. At the age of seven, he formed a band with his siblings which set the stage for his musical ambitions. Throughout his teenage years and early twenties, Top honed his craft by playing in various bluegrass bands before moving to Nashville in 2021, where he has been steadily making his mark as an artist to watch.
