Zach Bryan Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Ed Sheeran Amid North American Motorcycle Journey, Sparking Hopes for a Star-Studded Collaboration

During his expansive motorcycle road trip across North America, singer-songwriter Zach Bryan took a moment to share a series of Instagram Stories honoring one of his biggest musical influences — Ed Sheeran. Zach reshared a brief acoustic cover of his song “Oklahoman Son” performed by Sheeran, adding a heartfelt caption: “mans one of the reasons I write songs. Thank you brother x a million.” The track is from Bryan’s 2024 album, The Great American Bar Scene.

Although the video was originally posted by Sheeran back in July 2024, Zach’s recent spotlight on it serves as a touching reminder of the deep respect between the two artists. In the clip, Sheeran casually strums his guitar and sings a few lines from “Oklahoman Son” before stepping onto the stage, creating a simple yet powerful moment of musical kinship.

With Ed Sheeran hinting at a possible venture into country music, fans are buzzing with anticipation over the potential for a future collaboration between these two stars. This speculation is fueled further by Sheeran’s recent performances alongside Noah Kahan — Zach Bryan’s duet partner on “Sarah’s Place” — at Nashville’s Santa’s Pub, as well as notable sets with Post Malone and Megan Moroney.

There is growing excitement that Sheeran might soon release another blockbuster album of collaborations, following the success of his No. 6 Collaborations Project. If Zach Bryan joins him on such a project, it could ignite the country music world in a spectacular way.

Currently, Sheeran is promoting his pop-leaning album Play, meaning fans may need to wait a bit longer to see his full country music pivot. Meanwhile, Zach Bryan is busy working on his upcoming album Motorbreath and the EP With Heaven On Top as he rides across the U.S., with eager fans hoping for an official release date soon.

The story of Zach Bryan and Ed Sheeran highlights not just their musical talent but a deep artistic connection that transcends genres. Fans are watching closely, excited to see what this dynamic duo might create next in the world of music.
