Zach Bryan and Kings of Leon have released a new collaborative single, "Bowery," bringing together two of rock and country music's most distinctive voices.
The 29 year old singer songwriter described the collaboration as the "honor of my life," with the track highlighting the emotional chemistry between Bryan and Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill.
Announcing the release on Instagram, Bryan wrote: “Honor of my life.”
Kings of Leon also celebrated the collaboration, writing: “Did a song with our friend. Had fun doing it. Couldn’t be more proud.”
It has not yet been confirmed whether "Bowery" is a standalone release or part of a larger project. However, Bryan has teased that a new EP titled Heaven On Top is set to arrive on January 9, 2026.
Earlier this year, Bryan enlisted Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey to unveil news of what he described as his "final major label album," Motorbreath, along with a companion film of the same name.
The upcoming project will fulfill Bryan's recording contract with Warner Music, which has released his music through his Belting Bronco imprint since 2022. In a video shared on Bryan's Instagram, McConaughey narrated the announcement in his trademark Southern drawl.
“This is not a film about a band.
“This is a film about a boy from Oklahoma, a boy who joined the Navy with a love of writing. That writing connected with people — a lot of people. This film is about a group of best friends taking a two week motorcycle ride across America while recording one final major label album. Oh, and the title of the film, you ask? Motorbreath.”
Bryan also shared a preview of an unreleased song that appears to be titled "Birdie." His most recent studio album remains 2024's The Great American Bar Scene.
Meanwhile, Bryan recently stirred controversy among Kansas City Chiefs fans following a series of posts on X. A longtime supporter of the Philadelphia Eagles, the singer celebrated the Eagles' victory over the Chiefs in this year's Super Bowl and joked about Kansas City's failed bid for a third straight championship.
“Where are all the three peat people from last year :/ (sic),” he wrote.
After one social media user criticized him for targeting Chiefs fans, Bryan replied: "Please understand I will never play in Kansas City."
He later added: “I’ll be about to finish my show and then get a taunting call if I play at that stadium.”
Bryan eventually brushed off the exchange as lighthearted sports rivalry, writing: "guys it’s okay to talk trash to each other about football yall are weird as hell (sic)."
