Zach Top is not just another singer on a stage. He spent eight years of his childhood fighting his parents over piano lessons before he finally found his true love: the guitar. By the time he was seven, he was already touring in a bluegrass band called Top String with his siblings.
While other kids were playing games, Zach was touring the Pacific Northwest and learning how to hold a crowd’s attention. You can see the result of those twenty years of hard work in his performances today. He grew up on his farm and playing music that sounds like George Strait and Alan Jackson. There is strength in the way he sings. It is not an act for the cameras because he lived every single word of his songs.
