Summertime Blues is the second EP by American singer-songwriter Zach Bryan. The EP was released on July 15 2022 through Belting Bronco and Warner Records.[2] The EP was release 2 months after the release of his debut major label studio album, American Heartbreak. The track "Oklahoma Smokeshow" became a standout track and American musician Charles Wesley Godwin features on the track "Jamie".[3]

Background and composition[edit]

Two weeks after releasing American Heartbreak, Bryan immediately began teasing new music, beginning with "Twenty So".[4] Bryan would continue to tease this new music a couple of weeks later again with the track "Oklahoma Smokeshow".[5] Bryan would release the title track "Summertime Blues" on 6 July, along with the announcement of the EP.[6]

While developing the EP, Bryan intended for the release to be shorter but track would "slip onto the record by accident".[7] Bryan enlisted the help of collaborator Charles Wesley Godwin, after developing a friendship over social media, and touring together, Godwin featured on the EP's track "Jamie".[8]
