FRIDAY MARCH 10
CHASE BRYANT
This
23-year old is a multi-talented Texan singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer
who has a strong musical heritage. Chase’s grandfather played piano in Roy
Orbison’s first two bands and later for Waylon Jennings. His uncles co-founded
the popular group Ricochet, which had several hits in the ’90s. “From the time
I was a kid, the only thing I wanted to do was play music,” he says. Because
of the Orbison connection, someone suggested a meeting with Roy’s widow, the
late Barbara Orbison, a prominent Nashville publisher, who signed Bryant on the
spot. That road led Bryant to BBR Music Group imprint Red Bow Records, to whom
he’s signed. In early 2017 he’s been touring with Brad Paisley and enjoying the
success of his new EP, Chase Bryant.
