Zach Top Joins The Red Clay Strays for a Fitting Tribute to John Anderson Just One Day After His Death
Zach Top joined the Red Clay Strays on stage in Nashville to perform John Anderson’s “Swingin’”, paying tribute to the country singer one day after his death at 71. The performance brought Anderson’s music to a packed arena and honoured a career spanning more than five decades.
The Red Clay Strays were performing at Bridgestone Arena as part of their Grateful Tour when they welcomed Top, the reigning CMA New Artist of the Year. Rather than play one of their own songs, they chose Anderson’s 1983 hit. Anderson’s family announced his death on Instagram, remembering him as both a gifted musician and a beloved husband, father and grandfather.
