 I don't know if he's coming. In advance of his upcoming album, The Great American Bar Scene, Zach Bryan is letting a tiny handful of bars around the country play parts of the album in advance. Cue Shannon Tavern, a classic Southie pub with deep roots in the neighborhood. The Bowen family owns this place. And Mike Bowen talked to me. When he says The Great American Bar Scene, this is like it. My grandparents came from Ireland and like kicked this place off. Business has really picked up since Zach put the spot on his list. I asked whether country music really resonates for the Southie crowd.
