Windy City Smokeout: Zach Bryan - Thursday Pass (Time: TBD) in Chicago, IL

Born in Japan and raised in Oklahoma, this singer-songwriter served eight years in the Navy before releasing an acoustic album recorded with naval peers in Florida. That release sparked major label offers, leading to an honorable discharge to pursue music. He has since performed sold-out shows at large venues and released the project Young Manhood & Other Donatable Organs.

Windy City Smokeout is an annual country music, craft beer, and barbecue festival held outside the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Hosted by Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, the multi-day outdoor event is a two-time Academy of Country Music "Festival of the Year" winner. It brings together prominent country music headliners, rising stars, and award-winning pitmaster teams from across the United States for a premier celebration of music and food.
