Well now I have something to listen to when I’m ready to escape from my family and drink beers in the garage this Christmas.
Before anybody even got a chance to see what Santa left under the tree on Christmas morning, Zach Bryan gave us all a surprise gift.

Zach dropped (yet another) new album, the long-promised live album recorded during his incredible show at Red Rocks in the middle of a blizzard last month.
Back when the show was announced, Zach teased that he would be recording the concert to release as a live album.

He also revealed that the album would be named All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster (Live from Red Rocks) amid his ongoing beef with the ticketing giant.

And Zach once again confirmed the live album while talking about his album for 2023, saying that he was done dropping music for awhile:
hey guys, done dropping for awhile, besides the live album, working on a new project!
album for 2023 is called ‘Writers and Fighters’ and I have never been more excited for anything in my life

Well lucky for us “awhile” didn’t turn out to be all that long, because Zach decided to surprise us all with the release of the live album.
The unannounced drop of All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster (Live from Red Rocks) contains all 24 songs from Zach’s debut performance at the legendary venue, including the opening performance of “Country Roads” with Charles Wesley Godwin and Jonathan Peyton, whose performances were canceled at the last minute due to the blizzard on the day of the show.
In announcing the album’s release, Zach once again railed against Ticketmaster and the inflated prices for live shows, promising fans that he’s doing all that he can to keep ticket prices low for the “limited number of headline shows” he’ll be playing next year. And he also promised that a tour announcement is coming soon too:
So for everybody needing something to keep them warm this Christmas, or looking for an excuse to ditch the family and listen to sad country music while you get plastered by yourself in the garage…well, Zach Bryan just came through with a Christmas miracle.
Merry Christmas everybody!
