Finally, Zach Bryan arrived on Long Island on Saturday, March 30th to perform his New York leg of the Quittin’ Time Tour. Bryan performed at UBS arena and put on an amazing show playing 22 songs over the course of the two hour set. During the show, Bryan paid tribute to the fallen Long Island police officer officer Jonathan Diller by playing his song “Jakes Piano – Long Island”. On a much happier note, Bryan also brought out Mets player, Pete Alonso. While performing “Revival” during the encore, Alonso joined Bryan to sing. Saturday’ night’s show was a great concert, and Bryan’s stage presence and performances wowed the crowd. 

On Sunday, March 31st, Zach Bryan performed his second and last night at UBS arena. Long Island native, Sarah Holbrook, was invited on stage to perform alongside Bryan during his hit song “I Remember Everything”. Bryan’s father met Sarah earlier in the parking lot. Sarah wowed him with her voice and her presence and was then invited to perform with Bryan. Bryan did not play any different songs compared to Saturday night but his performance was just as amazing.

It was truly shocking how someone could go up on stage and perform for two hours straight with little to no breaks. Zach Bryan and his band know how to put on a proper show and it was enjoyed by many. Bryan played many heartbreaking songs and seamlessly transitioned into happier, upbeat songs. Many artists don’t know how to transition their songs well but many applauded Bryan for being able to do so. The Quittin’ Time Tour was one of the best concerts I have been to, and if I was able to relive that experience, I would do so in a heartbeat.
