While Zach Bryan grew up in Oologah, Oklahoma, the prolific singer-songwriter was actually born in Okinawa, Japan, where his family was deployed in the Navy overseas. Bryan’s father, Dewayne Bryan, and mother, Annette DeAnn, have both served in the U.S. Navy, as well as his grandfather, his uncles, and his great-grandfather.

Bryan kept the family tradition on as he became an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy when he was seventeen. There, he continued making music in the barracks with his friends and met his wife – yet another Navy veteran, Elisabeth Rose Madden, who often appeared on Bryan’s videos and even provided background vocals to some of his rough-cut DIY tracks.

Bryan and Madden got hitched in 2020 at Colchuck Lake in Leavenworth, Washington. It was during the height of COVID-19, and the couple bravely faced chaos, unforeseen encounters, state-mandated limitations on gatherings, and the challenges of travel restrictions. Two weeks after their mountain-top elopement, the couple held their intimate reception on their five-acre homestead in rural Island County, keeping the attendees to only their closest family and friends.

In 2021, Bryan announced that he was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy after eight years of service “to go play some music.”

“Can’t tell if I’m a coward or if I’m chasing a dream,” the singer wrote, calling the years he spent serving the country as the best years of his life. “It made a man out of me, truly.”
