I'm a singer-songwriter and tour for a living. And I've lived in Tennessee about seven, eight years now. Chase seemingly wouldn't have it any other way, and embraces the authenticity such varied life experiences have given him, even when it means sometimes forgetting your omnipresent ball cap.Ĭhase: What's up, y'all? I'm Chase Rice, I'm from Fairview, North Carolina.
BLOWN AWAY CHORDS TV
Chase Rice's road toward playing for those fans has held plenty of twists and turns which might befit someone who went from playing college football to working on championship NASCAR pit crews, to a grueling competition reality TV show to a fast-rising country singer-songwriter. Summertime is right around the corner here in the U.S., and for music fans and artists alike, that means plenty of days and nights experiencing music in so many forms, be it blasting from speakers on road trip vacations or playing it live at fairs and festivals across the country. Welcome back to Around the Barrel, the official podcast from the makers of Jack Daniel's. Hanging with like-minded friends moved those songwriting dreams into chart-topping success, and merely listening and absorbing songs growing up informed the writing of his biggest solo effort to date, the song "Three Chords and the Truth." On this episode of Around the Barrel, we talked with the tire carrier turned hitmaker about reality TV, his Carolina roots, the merits of your own Single Barrel, and why the four words "Head Down, Eyes Up" continue to play such a big role in his life. An injury derailed his college football dreams, but pointed him to songwriting.
Lucas Hendrickson: Chase Rice has benefited from purposeful serendipity more than once on his path of the public spotlight. So I didn't want to lose some cash on it so I didn't do it. Chase Rice: No, I wanted to actually put Jack Daniel's as one of the songwriters of that, but then I was afraid you guys would come looking for money.
