A culture shock for sure. Being a security guard at concert venues exposes you to a lot of different music from all genres. From rap to rock to country, typically, you at least know what you’re getting from each show. It’s clear, however, that this security guard had absolutely no idea what he was getting into with Wheeler Walker Jr. For those unaware of who Wheeler Walker Jr. is, he is a character/singer created by Ben Hoffman, an actor and comedian who has written with the likes of Norm McDonald and starred in shows such as Arrested Development. Lately, however,…

It’s been two years since Zach Bryan made his major label debut with American Heartbreak. To say the album was a success would be an absolute understatement. It debuted at #5 on Billboard’s US Top 200 chart, selling well over one million units as of May 2023. Since American Heartbreak’s release, Bryan has been an absolute powerhouse, dominating the country landscape and selling out shows worldwide.
