**NEW YORK, NY** – Zach Top, the Washington native whose debut album “Cold Beer & Country Music” has taken the country music world by storm, made his late-night television debut on “The Tonight Show” Monday night. The performance, a powerful rendition of his platinum-selling hit “I Never Lie,” solidified Top’s status as one of the genre’s fastest-rising stars.
2024 was a breakout year for Top, who earned an ACM Award for New Male Artist of the Year, an Album of the Year nomination, and his first top 5 country radio hit with “I Never Lie.” Following this success, his “Tonight Show” appearance marks another significant milestone in his career. His performance, described as flawlessly replicating the studio recording, showcased his classic 90s country sound to a national audience.
Top joins a roster of rising country stars who have recently debuted on late-night television, including Treaty Oak Revival, Sierra Ferrell, and Megan Moroney. He’ll continue his momentum this summer, touring with Dierks Bentley on his “Broken Braches Tour.”
