Music defines Chase Bryant. At every level his truths are expressed in
melody, lyrics, hooks and sounds ... but his reality goes even deeper than
that. Bryant's heritage is defined by music. His upbringing, his craft, his
inspiration and his obsessions are all centered in the same. How else
could a 24-year-old be a top-flight guitar player, head-turning songwriter,
RED BOW recording artist and co-producer of his debut album.

Raised in Orange Grove, TX (pop. 1,200), Bryants grandfather played piano

for Roy Orbison and Waylon Jennings. His uncles co-founded the group
Ricochet. Conway, Merle, Petty, Vince, Bob Wills, Steve Wariner, Bryan
Adams and more were early influences as were records by Keith Urban,
Sarah Buxton and Jedd Hughes. Those records told me that I could be
a mainstream country artist and also write guitar riffs that would stick in
somebodys head, says Bryant.

Bryants guitar-wielding Top 10 debut single Take It On Back has reached

THREE MILLION combined views on YouTube/ VEVO, spent 15 consecutive
weeks on the CMT Hot 20 Countdown and is a GAC Top 20 Country
Countdown video. Take It On Back was a Top 20 Billboard Hot Country
Song in the U.S. and a Top 20 Most Watched Video on VEVO TV Nashville.
Internationally, the single is a Top 20 hit in Canada and soared to become
the #1 video on Australias CMC Countdown.

Bryants Top 3 up-tempo rocker Little Bit Of You lead Rolling Stone
to laud Bryant one of its 10 New Country Artists You Need To Know.
Bryants new single, the smoldering Room To Breathe marks a thrilling
evolution in the young stars artistry.

The musical maverick has been named an On the Verge Artist by USA
Today and iHeart Media; a Hot Star by Pollstar; one of 10 Country Artists
Youre Going To Love by Teen Vogue; One of the Best Things We Saw at CMA Fest by Rolling Stone; a superstar in waiting by Taste of Country,
a Next Big Thing 2015 Star by MusicRow Magazine as well as an Artist to Watch in 2015 by The Huffington Post, Nashville Lifestyles, Taste of
Country, Roughstock, Country Music Is Love and many more. Bryant joined Tim McGraws Shotgun Rider Tour in Summer 2015.

Despite exceptional achievement for someone so young Bryant sees little difference between himself and the audience. "We're all fans," he says.
The music is our connection. Im just the guy with the guitar. If I wasn't, I'd be the guy on the front row with his arm around his girl raising a glass
to the guy onstage. No question. It's just who I am. Music is everything."
