He is among the most well-known and acclaimed country musicians of the recent ten years. 27 number-one singles have been released from Bryan’s first ten albums, which are: I’ll Stay Me (2007), Doin’ My Thing (2009), Tailgates & Tanlines (2011), Crash My Party (2013), Spring Break…Here to Party (2013), Spring Break… Checkin’ Out (2015), Kill the Lights (2015), Farm Tour… Here’s to the Farmer (2016), What Makes You Country (2017), and Born Here Live Here Die Here (2020).

Luke and Jeff Stevens frequently compose together. He has been an American Idol judge since 2018.

He has received the title of “Entertainer of the Year” five times from the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music Awards.

2019 saw the Academy of Country Music’s inaugural Album of the Decade honor go to Bryan’s 2013 release Crash My Party. With over 75 million recordings sold, he is among the best-selling musical artists in the world.

The beef between Zach Bryan and Luke Bryan

Despite not being related to each other, it seems like Zach and Luke have a beef going on.

While the details of the feud are not known, Zach once posted a story related to it on his Instagram. In November 2022, he posted the promotion of the Windy City Smokeout that is happening on July 13-16, 2023.

Windy City Smokeout is “Chicago’s Country Music, BBQ & Beer Festival.” Zach wrote, “wish I’d of known @lukebryan was gonna be here or I woulda never.”

However, he quickly took it down. Many have reported that he deleted the story because Windy City Smokeout asked him to do so.

On the other hand, many claimed that Zach was merely joking, but the festival thought it would bring negativity. Hence he was asked to remove it.

Neither Zach nor Luke has commented on it. Regardless, it seems like both will be performing alongside Zac Brown Band and Darius Rucker, among others.
