If you’ve been following country music closely, you’ve heard the advice before: see your favorite up-and-coming artists in smaller venues while you still can. Prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is intimate, and it may be your last chance before they skyrocket to stardom. That was the case on Thursday night (10/3) when Zach Top took the stage at the Fort Bend County Fair in Rosenberg, Texas, offering a rare chance to see a rising star in his element—up close and personal for just $12.
Zach Top’s Unforgettable Night in Texas
The decision to attend Zach Top’s performance wasn’t just about affordable tickets; it was about catching a star on the cusp of something big. With the nearby Houston music scene fueling the crowd, it was no surprise that this was one of Zach Top’s largest solo shows to date. Fans arrived hours early to secure prime spots, and by the time the show kicked off, the audience had swelled to capacity, with people climbing trees and hoisting children onto their shoulders just to get a glimpse.
Despite it being a school night, the front rows were packed with fans half the age of the music Zach plays—a nod to classic '90s country. As the show unfolded, it became clear that Zach's music resonated with both young and old alike, as fans sang along to every word, including the handful of classic country covers that Zach and his band threw into the mix. Not only is Zach Top a rising star, but he’s also capturing the hearts of new generations with his blend of timeless country sound and modern charisma.
A Setlist to Remember: Zach Top’s Versatility on Full Display
Where Zach Top often gets just 20 minutes when opening for Lainey Wilson or an hour at festivals, the Fort Bend County Fair gave him two full hours to showcase his talent. He delivered crowd-favorite originals like “I Never Lie” and “Things to Do” while also treating the audience to a high-energy bluegrass set, complete with a fiery rendition of “Freeborn Man.”
His set also included the well-known classic “Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident),” an apt choice for a fair that also featured a youth livestock auction—bringing that authentic country vibe to the night. Despite battling a sore throat, Zach didn’t miss a beat, with his powerful vocal delivery on presumed hit “Use Me” and an impressive high note during "Freeborn Man" leaving the crowd none the wiser.
Why Zach Top is Country’s Next Big Thing
Zach Top’s performance wasn’t just about the music. It was about the total package—his stage presence, his humility, and the effortless way he connected with the audience. Whether it was chicken-pickin' like Brent Mason on his Telecaster, his mastery of bluegrass flatpicking, or even his confident whistling, Zach showcased the breadth of his talent. He’s got the swagger country audiences love, paired with an authenticity that’s hard to come by in today’s music landscape.
There’s also a heartthrob element to Zach’s rise. Young women swooned every time Zach flashed a smile or made eye contact with the crowd, adding to the excitement and energy that filled the night.
