Zach Bryan Partners With The Sonic Foundation to Surprise Oklahoma Teachers With 5,000 Free Tickets

On January 9, Zach Bryan released his sixth studio album, With Heaven on Top. Packed with 25 songs, the album produced hits like “Plastic Cigarette” and “Say Why.” As for the album, it peaked at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 and the US Top Country Albums charts. And in March, he kicked off his With Heaven on Tour. Thrilled by the reception the album received, Bryan recently collaborated with Sonic to give out 5,000 tickets to those who deserve it most – teachers.

For each new generation, there is an army of teachers tasked with ushering them into the workforce, society, and adulthood. Knowing the weight put on their shoulders, Bryan hoped to highlight their dedication and offer them an unforgettable night with a special concert. And to make it even better, the event was entirely free for teachers who received a ticket.

Zach Bryan Not Too Far From Home In Tulsa

On April 3 and 4, Bryan will take the stage in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Raised in Oologah, Oklahoma, the concert felt like a family event. The distance between Tulsa and Oologah is a little over 30 miles. Only needing less than an hour to travel the city, the show represents a rare homecoming moment for the country singer. 

As for the Sonic Foundation, the fast food chain teamed up with Bryan to hand out over 5,000 tickets to teachers and educators around the surrounding area. It should come as no surprise, given that Bryan has consistently found ways to give back. Aside from supporting the armed forces, he even contributed to the Troops Foundation.

Much like Bryan, this isn’t the first time the Sonic Foundation has supported teachers. Over the past decade, the program donated a staggering $32 million to teachers and schools. 

With Bryan returning home, the concerts are set to be more than just another stop on tour – they’re a celebration of community and the educators who help shape it. For thousands of teachers in Oklahoma, the weekend will include more than just live music. It will present them with a well-earned celebration with one of their own.
