Zach Bryan “Nine Ball” Video – The Location, the Actors, and More!

Fresh off a Grammy Award win for his duo performance with Kacey Musgraves (if you’re tired of modern pop country you’ll love the duet, check it here), Zach Bryan has a brand new music video for his song “Nine Ball.” I’m terrible at pool and side note: basically anything related to a pool, like swimming. But this will be my worst swim in a triathlon. I’ll get better! Speaking of which, I have a duathlon coming up in and I’m excited and nervous about it. If only I was as cool as Matthew McConaughey, I’d be fine. Oh yeah, he’s in this Zach Bryan music video. Check out the video then scroll down for more info…


The Location. The video was shot at Sagebrush in Austin, Texas. It’s a country music honky tonk (I wonder if they serve Austin-based soda company Poppi there?) and you can also go there to play pool apparently. Oh gosh, just saying pool makes me gasp for air. I need to learn how to swim better, this is becoming a problem.


The Actors. Just L.I.V.I.N. the dream in this video is actor Matthew McConaughey. He stars alongside actor playing the role of son, Tye Sheridan (Tye’s IMDb page), and the bookie is actor Scott Shepherd (Scott’s IMDb page). Showing a character growing up in just a few scenes is so tricky, but they did it well in the video. The actors playing Matthew’s sons growing up are Jack Benson (son at age 7) and Maddux Spencer (son at age 14).


The Director. Captaining the ship for this project is video director Matthew Dillon Cohen (Instagram: @itsbongoboy). He worked with Zach before on the video for “Oklahoma Smokeshow,” which is a great video if you have time to check it out.


Are you a good pool player? Have you ever bet on it? Are you a good swimmer? Tell me how to do it in the comments below.
