Moment country music star Zach Bryan kicks woman out of his concert after she tried to grab his guitar during encore
Country music star Zach Bryan kicked a woman out of his concert in Albany after she grabbed his $3,000 Gibson J-45 guitar as he walked by.
Oklahoma native Bryan, 27, performed in New York’s capital at the MVP Arena on May 26.
He was caught on camera walking through the crowd to the stage, when an arm reached over the barrier and grabbed his guitar.
Bryan, who is in the middle of a 36-date tour of the United States and Canada, immediately asked security to remove the woman.

“I’ll tell Albany, I never expected this to be the most fun show of my entire life,” he tweeted right after the show.
‘Thank you very much.
“The kindness I found along the way is a kindness I’ll never find again. I love you.’
Four days later, when video of the incident emerged, Bryan explained what had happened.
“I don’t mind people being respectful and trying to touch me or the guitar, but if you try to snatch it from my hands, I promise I’ll snatch you from the room, with respect, of course. ‘ he said.
Bryan said he regularly handed out Gibson J-45 guitars, but the ones he had in Albany at the time were treasured.

He also said that he had no ill will towards the expelled woman.
“I spend J-45s at a lot of concerts,” he said.
“The one I had in my hands when this happened was mine, my sweet old girl, we’ve been everywhere together and written every song together over the years.
“Take it personally, but nothing against whoever got kicked out in the end.”
