Wait a minute…
We all know that Zach Top feels like the reincarnation of an mysterious ’90s country country music star. The “Sounds Like The Radio” singer is bringing back the sound pioneered by artists in the golden decade, putting his twist on the classic sound that country fans love. Zach Top is the real deal, and his rise to fame has shown that he captivates listeners across generations.
On his rise to stardom, country music fans have often compared his sound to those of the past, like Keith Whitley or Alan Jackson. Even compared to these greats, Top has never tried to be a ’90s country gimmick. He even spoke about it with Wrangler Western, saying that he feels part of the reason he’s got fans of all ages is that he does his own thing while taking inspiration from the ’90s icons.
“I think that maybe part of the reason people like my music so much is that it’s not a… it’s not like a ’90s gimmick thing. This is all I know how to do. It’s not like I made the choice that I’m going to be a ’90s throwback guy.
It’s like I grew up listening and learning from the same guys that all those ’90s guys would have been influenced by. So it comes from just as genuine of a place as those guys did the first time they came around.”
This year, Zach Top will have a chance to open up for one of his musical heroes, Alan Jackson, as he was added to the bill for the four stops of Jackson’s Last Call: One More for the Road Tour.
Head over to Vivid Seats to grab your tickets for Alan Jackson’s Last Call: One More For The Road Tour. It’s the only platform that gives you a free ticket for every 10 you buy, so why go elsewhere?
Are Alan Jackson and Zach Top Related?
While fans look forward to these tour dates with Top and Jackson sharing the stage, one Canadian radio host shared a theory that the two might be related. Docc Andrews of 93.7 JR Country shared on air that he believes Zach Top might be Alan Jackson’s son.
Okay, before you start thinking, “No. This has gone too far,” you need to listen to Andrews’s statements. He gives a convincing case beyond the apparent facts that, musically, the two are very similar.
“You guys, Zach Top was born September 6th, 1997, in Sunnyside, Washington, USA. If you go back nine months from his birth date to the winter of 1996. In November of 1996, Alan Jackson played at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington!
Have you seen Zach Top’s face? His mustache? His sound? Zach Top is Alan Jackson’s son. Prove me wrong.”
While a paternity test would quickly lay this conspiracy theory to rest, proving Andrews wrong, it’s impressive to make all of these connections surrounding his birth to Jackson’s performance four hours from his hometown.
Lots of ideas are swirling inside my brain after hearing this.
