Country megastar Zach Bryan’s family visit to a Tipperary farm following Dublin gigs

Fresh from Zach Bryan’s sold-out shows in Dublin’s Phoenix Park, the American country star’s family paid a quiet visit to county Tipperary, spending time on a local farm in Ballylooby.

In a recent piece by the Irish Farmers Journal, it was reported that Bryan’s father, Dewayne, and his partner visited the Ryan family farm following the final Dublin concert. The visit came about through a chance meeting in Los Angeles, where a member of the Ryan family, along with her brother’s girlfriend, met the Bryans while on a J1 summer trip.

That encounter led to concert tickets and a backstage pass and, eventually, to an invitation to visit the Ryan farm in rural Tipperary.

According to the Farmers Journal, the Bryans spent the Monday after the final concert helping with morning milking, touring the farm’s facilities, and even getting a look at the machinery and pig unit.

The Ryan farm is a mixed dairy and pig enterprise, and while the visit was informal, it marked an unexpected cultural crossover between rural Ireland and one of America’s biggest rising stars in country music.

The story has drawn local and national interest, with many praising the grounded nature of the visit far removed from the limelight of a sold-out music tour.
