A viral TikTok clip of Zach Bryan dancing at a bonfire with his grandma shows us a softer side of the singer-songwriter, and the setting says a lot about the character of Bryan's dad, Dewayne Bryan.

? I Remember Everything (feat. Kacey Musgraves) - Zach Bryan
There's more reasons to adore the Bryan family once you learn more context about the bonfire, which was held on Veteran's Day (Nov. 11) in Copan, Okla.
Zach's dad Dewayne walked the 75 miles to Copan from Claremore, Okla. Per KJRH News, the trek raised funds for Hopestone Cancer Support Center of Bartlesville, Okla. and Paths to Independence— a school for autistic children.
"It's not picky. It doesn't care if you're poor [or] rich, doesn't care about your race, doesn't care about your identity. It doesn't care," Dewayne told Fox 23. "Cancer sucks and I don't know, it's just like, it's just something I can do, we can do."
KJRH added that Zach's sister was among the group that joined their dad for the walk.
It was the third year in a row of Dewayne's fundraiser.
As for how the bonfire fits into this, that gathering followed a fundraising event and barbecue in Copan, Okla. that doubled as a celebration of Dewayne's arrival.
In a different viral clip, Zach bid on a copy of his own DeAnn album on vinyl, winning it for $4,000. Per the TikTok post, Zach gave his auction score away to a fan.
Bryan just landed a trio of 2024 Grammy Awards nominations: Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance (both for "I Remember Everything") and Best Country Album for his self-titled LP.
