Zach Bryan has announced his first memoir, "Young Manhood & Other Donatable Organs", capping a triple reveal that also includes a companion EP and a 2027 stadium tour. The announcement, made on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, via his website and Instagram, marks the singer-songwriter's most ambitious creative chapter yet.
The book arrives alongside the eight-track EP of the same name, out October 16, 2026 via Warner Records, while the 2027 "Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs Tour" will take Bryan to 19 stadiums across North America and Australia. It follows his January 2026 album With Heaven On Top, and lands in the same week as his first public interview in years — a nearly hour-long "On The Porch" conversation with Matthew McConaughey on YouTube. The triple announcement caps a headline-filled stretch for Bryan, which also included Zach Bryan's 'Free Palestine' shirt moment at Gillette Stadium.
The Memoir
Title: Young Manhood & Other Donatable Organs
Announced: Wednesday, October 14, 2026, via Bryan's website and Instagram
