Zach Top Puts Forth an Unforgettable Night at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena [Photos]

Zach Top and his “Cold Beer & Country Music” sold out Vancouver’s Rogers Arena. This concert was meant to happen, regardless of all the troubles Zach encountered on his way to Vancouver, forgetting that he was leaving the country just the day before, and leaving his passport at home.

Thanks to his girlfriend, who was able to find it at home, take a flight to Vancouver on the same night, and then cross the border, where Zach was waiting for her with his passport.

The opener, Jake Worthington, did not suffer the same fate as Canadian immigration, which did not allow him to enter the country, apparently because he got into some trouble during his last visit to the country.

All that made Top start his set a bit earlier, as a replacement for the opener couldn’t be found on such short notice. The band came to the stage while “Honky Tonkin’” by Hank Williams was playing in the background, and when Top hit the stage, “Honky Tonk Till It Hurts” was his first song.

For “Good Times & Tan Lines,” the band gathered around Zach, creating a more intimate setting with dimmer lights and a softer voice. They maintained the same vibe for “In a World Gone Wrong” and “Showboat Gambler.” Right after, the band left the stage, and Zach made an acoustic solo performance of “There’s the Sun.”

He performed covers of classics like “Two Dozen Roses” by Shenandoah, “Slow Hand” by Conway Twitty, “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?” by Shania Twain, and a snippet of “Tequila” by The Champs. He closed his set with “Cold Beer & Country Music,” but the fans didn’t let him go that easily, and he had to return for an encore of “She Makes,” and “Beer for Breakfast” by Merle Haggard.
