Chase Rice Expands 'Go Down Singin' International Tour' with 13 New Dates

May 27, 2025

After an incredible response to the launch of his already-extended Go Down Singin’ International Tour, which kicked off in Australia ahead of dates across the U.S. and Canada throughout the summer, multi-Platinum singer-songwriter Chase Rice again expands the run with 13 additional dates announced today. Tickets to the newly added shows go on sale to the general public this Friday, May 30 at 10 a.m. local time via ChaseRice.com.

Bringing Rice’s critically acclaimed album Go Down Singin’ to audiences across the globe, the remaining stops on the tour see him joined by fellow singer-songwriters Cory Asbury, Wade Bowen, Gritty Flyright, Tyler Halverson, Hannah McFarland, McCoy Moore, Drake White and Charlie Worsham across various dates (see full listing below; support assets available HERE).

The international run highlights Rice’s widely celebrated artistic evolution in a live setting. As Billboard declares, “his new music leans toward rootsier, raw-rock driven sounds, trading party anthems for introspective lyrical themes,” while “his voice conveys a crackling warmth of self-reflection and an easy-going comfortableness with his new sound.” Rolling Stone highlights the album as “an excellent collection of poignant, often anthemic country,” noting that it finds Rice “trying to do what creative people are supposed to: grow and change,” while Cowboys & Indians proclaims that “maturity and clarity are the reality on Chase Rice's new album… one of 2024’s most well-received country albums.”

Rice further showcased this new direction with surprise follow-up project Fireside Sessions, which features all 25 songs from both Go Down Singin’ and prior album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell as live, single-take versions with cowriters including Lori McKenna, Jackson Dean, Hunter Phelps, Randy Montana and more as featured artists.

His latest offering, the brand-new Live From Chief’s EP released in Friday, March as a surprise for fans, includes Rice’s takes on two songs from his heroes – Eric Church’s “Carolina” and George Strait’s “I Can Still Make Cheyenne” – as well as the previously unreleased original, “Cowboy Goodbye.” Listen HERE.

About Chase Rice
With more than 2.6 million albums sold and over 2.8 billion total streams, plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe, Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond. With independent album Go Down Singin’ available everywhere now as the follow-up to the critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, and both brought together on the songwriter-forward Fireside Sessions, Rice’s sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life; from emotional reckoning to an admiration of the American West. The new music serves as a follow up to his three-part project, The Album, which featured his latest Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” and the Platinum-certified Top 10 hit “Lonely If You Are.”

This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited. The new music builds upon the success of his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, which featured the 3x Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career. Lambs & Lions followed Platinum-certified Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; Platinum-certified “Gonna Wanna Tonight” and Double Platinum “Ready Set Roll.” In addition to guesting on sold-out stadium shows with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice served as direct support on Dierks Bentley’s 2024 Gravel & Gold Tour and consistently sells out venues on his own headlining tours across the U.S. and beyond, with the Go Down Singin’ International Tour underway now.

Chase Rice Shares "Live From Chief's" EP: Eric Church & George Strait Covers Plus Unreleased Original "Cowboy Goodbye"

March 7, 2025

Country music maverick Chase Rice has surprised fans with today's release of a special three-song EP, Live From Chief's. Captured during his recent acoustic underplay shows at Chief's on Broadway on Feb. 13 and 14 – which American Songwriter cited as emblematic of the fact that "Chase Rice didn't change, he just got brave enough to be himself" – the project highlights Rice's raw, unfiltered artistry in a way that fans rarely get to experience at his larger arena shows. Listen HERE.

The project opens with two standout covers: fellow Asheville-area native Eric Church’s “Carolina,” one of the first songs Rice was inspired to learn to play on guitar during his college years at UNC, and George Strait’s iconic rodeo hit “I Can Still Make Cheyenne,” which itself inspired the EP’s third song.

The previously unreleased “Cowboy Goodbye,” a yearning song co-written by Rice with Oscar Charles and Foy Vance during a recent post-Red Rocks retreat in Colorado, serves as a pivotal moment for his next studio album – the oft-teased Eldora expected later this year. The first song written for the highly anticipated follow up to recent independent success Go Down Singin’, “Cowboy Goodbye” reflects on the sacrifices that come with the pursuit of music and the longing for something more:

“I love my life; I love my job; I love what I get to do for a living – but I’ve given up a lot to do it,” Rice shares in the live recording’s introduction, reflecting on the deeply personal parallels between the life of a touring musician and that of a true cowboy. “I don’t have a family yet – that’s the goal – but that’s one of the main things that I’ve given up to do this thing… Since I was a little kid, I always wore the cowboy boots, I always wore the cowboy hat and the cowboy way of life was always just kind of in my mind.”

Co-produced by Rice and Charles, the EP features an intimate, stripped-down sound with Charles on drums and background vocals, Jonathan Sherwood on bass and Tori Allen on fiddle. Recorded at two back-to-back sold-out shows at Chief’s just a few weeks ago, these performances were part of a unique two-night residency where Rice celebrated his artistic evolution:

Feb. 13: A Night of I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go to Hell – A deep dive into the storytelling and raw emotion of Rice’sacclaimed album praised for its authenticity and connection to his roots, hailed by Billboard as “one of 2023’s most unexpected artistic pivots” and Forbes as “a full-circle, career defining journey for Rice, as both a singer and a songwriter.”

Feb. 14: A Night of Go Down Singin’ – A showcase of Rice’s recent independent release, praised by Rolling Stone as “an excellent collection of poignant, often anthemic country,” which finds him “trying to do what creative people are supposed to: grow and change,” while Cowboys & Indians proclaimed that “maturity and clarity are the reality on Chase Rice's new album…what is sure to be one of 2024’s most well-received country albums of the year.”

With Live From Chief’s available across all streaming platforms now, fans get a rare, up-close listen to the stripped-down magic that made these shows unforgettable, while also catching a first glimpse of what’s to come with Eldora.

Chase Rice Featured in Original 'Hook & Barrel' Video Series: "The Chase"

January 24, 2025

One of Country music’s few Diamond-certified songwriters, Chase Rice, is profiled in a brand-new Hook & Barrel original video series titled “The Chase,” out now. The captivating feature from the outdoor lifestyle publication offers an intimate look into Rice’s life and passions away from the stage as he reflects on his artistry and musical journey. Watch Below.

Armed with a rifle and guitar, Rice sets out on an epic elk hunt in the rugged high desert of Utah, where he finds a much-needed respite from touring life and a deep connection to nature. This short film, the first of its kind from Hook & Barrel, takes place in the breathtaking Utah mountains and follows Rice as, together with editor-in-chief John Radzwilla, he scouts and chases the perfect bull before celebrating the day’s success with a fireside acoustic set of songs from his latest album, Go Down Singin’, plus a preview of unreleased new music.

The feature highlights Rice’s passion for storytelling as he opens up through candid conversations about his career evolution and personal growth, giving viewers a rare glimpse into the man behind the music – including his decision to leave a major label deal to release Go Down Singin’ independently, a bold move that has redefined his career. The album has been heralded by fans and critics alike as an authentic statement of his artistic evolution. As Billboard declares, “his new music leans toward rootsier, raw-rock driven sounds, trading party anthems for introspective lyrical themes,” while “his voice conveys a crackling warmth of self-reflection and an easy-going comfortableness with his new sound.” Rolling Stone highlights the album as “an excellent collection of poignant, often anthemic country,” noting that it finds Rice “trying to do what creative people are supposed to: grow and change,” while Cowboys & Indians proclaims that “maturity and clarity are the reality on Chase Rice’s new album…one of 2024’s most well-received country albums of the year.”

With new music already in the works as anticipation builds for the next chapter in Rice’s career, fans can also see him live on the upcoming Go Down Singin’ International Tour, kicking off in March and visiting cities across the United States, Canada and Australia, with Rice also appearing on several major festival lineups throughout the year.

Set within Eric Church’s newly opened multi-level venue, Chief’s, the Neon Steeple offers an intimate and unforgettable concert experience, giving fans an opportunity to see Rice perform these critically acclaimed albums in a rare setting.

Country music powerhouse Chase Rice is set to deliver standout track “Hey God It’s Me Again” from his critically acclaimed independent album Go Down Singin’ on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” this Wednesday, Nov. 27. Airing just before Thanksgiving, the song’s reflective tone and heartfelt lyrics provide a poignant backdrop to the season of gratitude.

“Hey God It’s Me Again” has quickly resonated as a fan-favorite song on Go Down Singin’, an album heralded by critics as a bold and authentic statement of Rice’s artistic evolution. With deeply personal lyrics and stripped-back production, the song encapsulates Rice’s raw, introspective approach to storytelling. As Billboard declares, “his new music leans toward rootsier, raw-rock driven sounds, trading party anthems for introspective lyrical themes,” while “his voice conveys a crackling warmth of self-reflection and an easy-going comfortableness with his new sound.”

Rice’s performance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” is a fitting celebration of a year that has seen the artist redefine himself creatively, shifting away from commercial trends to embrace a sound that is undeniably his own. “This song is about gratitude and connection,” shares Rice. “It’s a conversation with God that I think a lot of people can relate to, especially this time of year.”

Critics have lauded Go Down Singin’ overall as a career-defining project, with the independent release marking a bold pivot in Rice’s career. Rolling Stone highlights the album as “an excellent collection of poignant, often anthemic country,” noting that it finds Rice “trying to do what creative people are supposed to: grow and change.” With songs like “Hey God It’s Me Again,” he showcases growth as a songwriter, weaving personal experiences into music that connects on a universal level. Holler called it “a defiant, autobiographical battle-cry...pervaded by warmth, acceptance, and self-awareness,” while Cowboys & Indians proclaims that “maturity and clarity are the reality on Chase Rice's new album…what is sure to be one of 2024’s most well-received country albums of the year.”

Rice further showcased this new direction with surprise follow-up project Fireside Sessions, which featuring all 25 songs from both Go Down Singin’ and prior album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell as live, single-take versions with cowriters including Lori McKenna, Jackson Dean, Hunter Phelps, Randy Montana and more as featured artists.

Chase Rice: 'Fireside Sessions' Surprise Release Available Everywhere Now

October 25, 2024

With both I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, praised by Billboard as “one of 2023's most unexpected artistic pivots” and as one of the best albums of the year across all genres, plus Go Down Singin’, lauded by Rolling Stone as “an excellent collection of poignant, often anthemic country…a more refined, emotionally vulnerable version of what he does best,” Chase Rice returned to his songwriter-first roots. Now, he doubles down on that notion, with his surprise Fireside Sessions album featuring all 25 songs from both records as live, single-take versions with cowriters including Lori McKenna, Jackson Dean, Hunter Phelps, Randy Montana and more as featured artists. Listen HERE.

“The cool part about tonight, and why we put this together, is because the I Hate Cowboys record and the Go Down Singin’ record were the start of a whole new part of my life and my career. It was no longer chasing whatever was popular; it was finally just writing songs that I cared about, writing them on guitar – which is how I started writing songs – and then Oscar Charles producing the last two albums together. We wanted to finalize all that by coming together tonight,” Rice shared while unveiling the surprise project during his debut at the iconic Bluebird Café in Nashville with a special writers’ round featuring Charles plus fellow collaborators Blake Pendergrass, John Byron and Jonathan Sherwood. “We're going to drop the Fireside Sessions album tonight which is featuring all these songwriters, and songwriters on both albums, and it's going to be all of us just playing guitar like you're seeing tonight, and that's going to be the finalization of this chapter.”

Bringing together the cover images from each of the preceding albums, the Fireside Sessions album art unites Rice and his late father as grown men for the first time, bringing to life the lyric from album closer “You In ‘85” which Rice describes as the overarching theme of this multi-album musical chapter: “So if I could have one thing it’d be us man to man / A couple Coors Banquets in hand”

In paying homage to his dad, Rice’s vulnerable approach directly impacted his musical shift towards stripped-back authenticity as he grappled lyrically with that loss and how it has impacted him as both a man and an artist. Recorded around the fireplace at his farm outside Nashville in the style of Music City’s famous writers’ rounds, Fireside Sessions now serves as the culmination of that multi-album tribute as he looks ahead to new music covering other topics already in the works.

“I’ve always written songs like these but was never inspired enough to put them out,” he shared with the Tennessean. “Now I'm at a place where records I wasn’t inspired to let see the light of day define my career. Come hell or high water, this is the kind of music that I now make.”

Chase Rice Releases Independent Album GO DOWN SINGIN’ + Poignant "You In '85" Music Video

September 20, 2024

Diamond-certified songwriter Chase Rice debuts his highly anticipated independent album, Go Down Singin’, a reflective 11-song collection that captures the raw, unvarnished truth of his personal journey. Today’s release marks a continuation of Rice’s creative evolution that began with last year’s critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, an album celebrated by Billboard as “one of 2023’s most unexpected artistic pivots” and one of the best of the year across all genres. Listen to Go Down Singin’ HERE.

“It’s my first release in over 10 years as a fully independent artist,” notes Rice. “All we thought about when making this music was ‘how do we put the very best songs that I’ve got on one album?’ No thoughts of what’s popular right now, or what will work blow up or go viral, simply ‘who am I and what am I best at?’ It’s got songs about the music industry and what it can do to your soul; it’s got love lost songs; it’s got a song about my dad once again; it’s even got a murder song that might be my favorite song on the album. I hope you guys love this as much as I loved making it.”

Mirroring the cover art of the critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys album, which features an image of his late father holding two Coors Banquets during the late ‘80s in Wyoming, Rice recreated that photo himself for Go Down Singin’ as he continues to honor the man who not only served as his childhood hero, but who also still shapes his music and the person he is today. That tribute is especially poignant with today’s release of the official music video for album track “You In ’85,” which features home footage of Rice and his late father. Watch below.

“I’ve always written songs like these but was never inspired enough to put them out,” he shared with the Tennessean. “Now I'm at a place where records I wasn’t inspired to let see the light of day define my career. Come hell or high water, this is the kind of music that I now make. For the first time in my career, people are buying into me more than drinking beers and enjoying the vibes I’m singing about.”

“Maturity and clarity are the reality on Chase Rice’s new album, Go Down Singin’,” declares Cowboys & Indians of the honest and vulnerable project, continuing, “Even though Rice launched his singer-songwriter career as a bro-country prodigy in 2011 when he penned ‘Cruise’ with Florida Georgia Line, that isn’t who Rice is. It’s who he was. Nowadays, Chase Rice is the seasoned artist behind what is sure to be one of 2024’s most well-received country albums of the year.”

“Stripping back to raw, acoustic elements, the album presents an authentic and deeply personal exploration of Rice’s life, career, and the emotional experiences that come with it,” adds Entertainment Focus. “Blending folk, country, and rock influences, Rice crafts songs that are both musically diverse and lyrically profound... From soulful acoustic ballads to anthemic rockers, each track tells a story, offering listeners a raw and heartfelt glimpse into Rice’s world. With its blend of introspection, nostalgia, and storytelling, this album solidifies Chase Rice’s growing reputation as a nuanced and mature voice in country music.”

As made evident by that introspective approach taken with the new music, Rice recognizes that life has to happen before you can really understand it. Playing football, getting hurt; NASCAR pit crews, moving on. Being swept up in a dream, hit singles, massive tours, stalling momentum. Growing up a good kid, but never quite becoming a man – and then suddenly the man you look up to the most is gone.

Marveling at being a work-in-progress, he considers the 11-song cycle an arrival on the brink of “being the man my father always believed I could be.” He also knows that in the end, the things that matter about what you love have little to do with fame or money. Like every great athlete, it’s about the heart: how hard it beats, how deep it reaches into whatever it is. Now, after what seems like so many chances, the Florida-born, North Carolina-raised dreamer is making good on what his father told him so many years ago, “Boy, anyone can play guitar, but no one is gonna really listen to you until you start singing.”

And writing. Though he co-wrote “Cruise,” arguably one of country’s biggest songs this century, Rice realized he’d only been skimming the surface. With Go Down Singin’ Rice emerges as a spirit settling into a more philosophical place yet still wildly committed to living wide open in pursuit of his dream and being the best man possible. Whether measuring the pitfalls and triumphs on the lean fiddle’n’harmony assessment of “Oh Tennessee,” the cascading acoustic guitar passage of simple wisdom from father to son in “Numbers,” or the smoky looking back at first loves in “Little Red Race Car,” there’s a knowing appreciation for how he got here.

In a voice sturdy as a retaining wall, Rice confesses, “I’m 39 now, and that’s part of it. I’ve journaled since I was 15 years old, but there’s something about being able to tell other people. I’m a deep person, but I don’t know to show it in real life, so I’m trying to do it in my music.

“For me, Go Down Singin’ is everything about where I am and what I want. I’m starting to see myself as who I want to be, not who I thought I should be. That’s a good start. And I think a lot of men struggle with this stuff, too.”

Getting honest, digging down, Rice shifted his approach. Working with Oscar Charles (Boy Named Banjo, Madeline Edwards, Elvie Shane), the pair worked to create a sound that was as honest, as real instrument grounded as the songs that were emerging. Written largely on guitars and piano, Go Down Singin’ shows a man reckoning with growing up.

“For one record, I thought I was Ed Sheeran. For one, I thought I was Florida Georgia Line,” he offers. “I was 22. I got into the party scene, I got lost. I didn’t know. I was very influenced by Eric Church, and wanted to be like him, though mostly, I was just so confused. You fall into things, being in the studio, and you look back…”

Now when Rice looks back, it’s for the sake of the songs. Reckoning with where he is, there’s a reflective sensibility that tempers the life rising and falling “That Word Don’t Work No More,” the honesty of “If Drinkin’ Helped,” and especially, “You In ‘85,” which sifts through memories of his father.

“That started as such a sad vocal. Oscar came in, started talking to me about what the song meant,” he begins. “I realized: this is a celebration and an opportunity. If you could sit down as a man now, have that one conversation with your father and say all the things… It shifted everything about who I am, and reminded me of all the small things that matter.” Pausing, he acknowledges, “I’m becoming the man he knew that I could be. I’m not there yet, but I’m getting there, getting to be someone my family can be proud of.”

As a writing process, “That Word Don’t Work No More,” “If Drinkin’ Helped,” “You In ‘85” and “Oh Tennessee” mark a creative – if seemingly unlikely – collaboration with three-time Grammy winner Lori McKenna, who is also featured on “That Word.” Known for vulnerable but clear-eyed emotion, the Americana force came to see Rice play in Boston and recognized the wounding and the promise inside him.

“I wanted to bring her ‘Oh Tennessee,’ because it was the story of moving to Nashville, getting anything you wanted and losing it all,” he recalls. “I knew she would understand, and from there, well, we had so much to say.”

Getting beneath the surface took hold. Even on fun songs like “Little Red Race Car,” the desire of burning through the mundane in “Fireside,” or the spoken voice-noted homage to fellowship, black dogs and tradition “Arkansas,” there’s a sense of detail and purpose that gets beyond slinging hooks. “You realize, even in a song like ‘Arkansas,’ you’re talking more about life than killing ducks; you’re talking about dogs and what’s going on. It’s so much more.”

And it’s also country music traditions. Like “Haw River,” a classic murder ballad based on avenging the children a bad preacher took advantage of. “We were in Wilmington, North Carolina, and there were four girls by the bus. One said, ‘I’m Kayla from Haw River,’ and my ears just went up. Blake said, ‘We should make that a murder ballad…,’ and we were off. Between the series ‘1923,’ about those priests beating up and raping Native American girls, and our imaginations, it got pretty dark.”

It also gets pretty light. “Hey God It’s Me Again,” a stately shuffle, takes stock of where he is, where he’s going and what really matters. Beyond taking stock, it’s as much a song of gratitude as it is begging for help, an ask for clarity and a place to go to feel connected.

“There’s a little bit of ‘Here I am again…’ for sure,” allows the man who’s had three No. 1s, his own sold-out tours and key stadium support slots with Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney. “But I’m trying… I was a lost kid who lost his Dad. I’m not alone. I know lots of people struggle, too. The last record dealt with that loss, and this one is about taking all that and becoming who you’re meant to be. I wrote ‘Hey God’ with Randy Montana and Cory Crowder, and I remember saying, ‘I don’t want to write with a track, I just want to write with guitars today. I knew: this needed to be absolutely real.”

Chase Rice Unveils Haunting Murder Ballad “Haw River” off Independent Album 'Go Down Singin’' Due Sept. 20

August 16, 2024

Celebrated by Billboard for “having storytelling details tumble from his lips, his portraits created quickly and efficiently,” Diamond-certified songwriter Chase Rice unveils his latest gripping narrative via today’s release of “Haw River,” offering fans a further glimpse into his highly anticipated independent album, Go Down Singin’, arriving Sept. 20. Pre-order/pre-save the album HERE and listen to “Haw River” Below.

Inspired by a chance encounter during a writing retreat in Wilmington, N.C. with Blake Pendergrass – who also served as Rice’s writing partner on the recently released autobiographical title track – the haunting and evocative song showcases his ability to weave gripping narratives with a raw emotional core.

As Rice recalls of the chilling murder ballad’s origin, “We met a girl who said, ‘I’m Kayla from Haw River,’ and my ears just went up. Blake said, ‘We should make that a murder ballad…’ and we were off. Between the series 1923 about those priests beating up and raping Native American girls and our imaginations, it got pretty dark.”

With vivid lyrics and a stirring melody, “Haw River” tells the story of a preacher who exploits his power, only to face retribution at the hands of one of his victims, highlighting Rice’s continued evolution as a storyteller and his deep connection to the themes that resonate with him. The song joins a collection of songs that explore themes of growth, loss and redemption on Go Down Singin’, marking a significant moment in his musical journey as he bets on himself with the independent release.

“Go Down Singin’ is about where I am right now,” Rice shares of the Oscar Charles-produced project. “It’s about taking everything I’ve been through, all the mistakes and the lessons learned, and turning them into something meaningful. This album is the most honest I’ve ever been, and I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

Chase Rice Unveils Independent Album 'Go Down Singin'' Set for Sept. 20 Release

August 6, 2024

Building upon the ironic turn of 2023’s I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, celebrated by Billboard as “one of 2023’s most unexpected artistic pivots” and one of the best albums of the year across all genres, Diamond-certified songwriter Chase Rice doubles down on the raw introspection of that project with forthcoming independent release Go Down Singin’ arriving September 20. Pre-order/pre-save HERE.

Mirroring the cover art of that critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys album, which features an image of his late father holding two Coors Banquets during the late ‘80s in Wyoming, Rice recreated that photo himself for Go Down Singin’ as he continues to honor the man who not only served as his childhood hero, but who also still shapes his music and the person he is today.

Marveling at being a work-in-progress, he considers the 11-song cycle an arrival on the brink of “being the man my father always believed I could be.” Now, after what seems like so many chances, the Florida-born, North Carolina-raised dreamer is making good on what his father told him so many years ago, “Boy, anyone can play guitar, but no one is gonna really listen to you until you start singing.”

And writing. Though he co-wrote “Cruise,” arguably one of country’s biggest songs this century, Rice realized he’d only been skimming the surface. A kid when he started, he faced challenges, loss, soul-searching and gained a new appreciation for the art instead of the craft. With Go Down Singin’ Rice emerges as a spirit settling into a more philosophical place, still wildly committed to living wide open in pursuit of his dream and being the best man possible.

In a voice sturdy as a retaining wall, Rice confesses, “I’m 38 now, and that’s part of it. I’ve journaled since I was 15 years old, but there’s something about being able to tell other people. I’m a deep person, but I don’t know to show it in real life, so I’m trying to do it in my music.

“For me, Go Down Singin’ is everything about where I am and what I want,” he continues. “I’m starting to see myself as who I want to be, not who I thought I should be. That’s a good start. And I think a lot of men struggle with this stuff, too.”

Getting honest, digging down, Rice shifted his approach. Collaborating for a second time with producer Oscar Charles (Boy Named Banjo, Madeline Edwards, Elvie Shane), the pair worked to create a sound that was as honest, as real instrument-grounded as the songs that were emerging. Written largely on guitars and piano, Go Down Singin’ shows a man reckoning with growing up.

“For one record, I thought I was Ed Sheeran. For one, I thought I was Florida Georgia Line,” he offers. “I was 22. I got into the party scene, I got lost. I didn’t know. I was very influenced by Eric Church, and wanted to be like him, though mostly, I was just so confused. You fall into things, being in the studio, and you look back…”

Now when Rice looks back, it’s for the sake of the songs. As a writing process, Go Down Singin’ also marks a creative – if seemingly unlikely – collaboration with three-time GRAMMY winner Lori McKenna, who is also featured on the album. Known for vulnerable but clear-eyed emotion, the Americana force came to see Rice play in Boston and recognized the wounding and the promise inside him.

“I just had Chase Rice over here, who I had not known. His last record has a song called ‘Bench Seat.’ I think it’s like a masterclass in songwriting, and he wrote it by himself,” McKenna shared with Billboard of their first songwriting session together. “I think he’s got this long, beautiful road ahead of him.”

“I wanted to bring her a song I had started that was the story of moving to Nashville, getting anything you wanted and losing it all,” Rice recalls of “Oh Tennessee,” one of their four cowrites on the album. “I knew she would understand, and from there, well, we had so much to say.”

Across their collaborations and the entire record, the man who’s had three No. 1s, his own sold-out tours and key stadium support slots with Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney takes stock of where he is, where he’s going and what really matters.

“I’m a fuck up, and I know it,” he admits. “But I’m trying. I mean, my favorite story in the Bible is David, who sends his best friend off to war, so he can be with his friend’s wife… I was a lost kid who lost his Dad. I’m not alone. I know lots of people struggle, too. The last record dealt with that loss, and this one is about taking all that and becoming who you’re meant to be.”

Chase Rice Vows to "Go Down Singin'" With Latest Preview of Independent Album

June 21, 2024

One of Country music’s few Diamond-certified songwriters, Chase Rice continues to pave his unique path with today’s release of his autobiographical new song, “Go Down Singin’,” offering a raw and unfiltered glimpse into Rice’s journey ahead of his forthcoming independent album. Listen Below.

“I’ll spare y’all the details, but a few months ago I decided to leave my record deal and do this thing on my own,” Rice shared with fans. “I appreciate the love and songs Broken Bow and I did together. We had a lot of fun, and had two number ones. I made friends and met people that will always be a positive influence in my life. But now it’s time for me to ride this crazy rollercoaster we call the music industry by myself… Guess now it’s on me, if I go down at least I go down singin’.”

Written by Rice together with Blake Pendergrass during a trip back to his roots in North Carolina, “Go Down Singin’” encapsulates the highs and lows of his career, from the grind of Music Row to the decision to bet on himself with this project. Conveying a sense of resilience and determination, the musical manifesto reflects on that journey with a fighting spirit from the man Sports Illustrated celebrates for keeping “his head down, eyes up as he figured out who he is and navigated his wild ride to redemption.”

“Go Down Singin’” joins “Fireside” in previewing Rice’s forthcoming independent release, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell album, celebrated by Billboard as “one of 2023’s most unexpected artistic pivots” and as one of the best albums of the year across all genres.

In addition to crafting new music, Rice is also currently on tour with Dierks Bentley, visiting arenas and amphitheaters nationwide through September, in addition to prominent sets at major festivals including Summerfest, Windy City Smokeout and more.

Chase Rice Begins Next Musical Chapter with "Fireside" Out Now

May 11, 2024

Following the critically acclaimed release of 2023’s I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, Chase Rice unveils the start of his next musical chapter with today’s independent release of guitar-driven anthem “Fireside.” Listen Below.

“This is just the very beginning of my next full album, which to me is another level up from the Cowboys record,” Rice shared with fans of the new song, as he continues to pursue vulnerability and authenticity in his songwriting. “The theme continues with some pictures of my childhood and not only what got me here today, but who did,” he added, pointing to the single art paying tribute to the love story of his own parents with his mom, Connie, and late father, Dan, pictured at Road Atlanta in the mid-1970s.

Penned by Rice alongside Jonathan Sherwood, Jackson Dean and producer Oscar Charles, “Fireside” spotlights thefiery passion of romance, with the chorus erupting in a rallying cry to “burn with me.”

While Rice has always excelled at creating music that thrills his sold-out live audiences, “Fireside” joins I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell in doing so at an elevated level, with Billboard noting, “the music is still propulsive with arena-ready moments, but is laced with deeper, more introspective themes” and Forbes declaring, “his latest album shows a deeper, more reflective Chase Rice than we’ve seen in the past… a full-circle, career defining journey for Rice, as both a singer and a songwriter.”

Rice will perform “Fireside” live for the first time this Tuesday, May 14 as he returns to the Grand Ole Opry stage. He also joins Dierks Bentley’s Gravel & Gold Tour visiting arenas and amphitheaters nationwide from June through September in addition to prominent sets at major festivals including Tailgate N’ Tallboys, Summerfest, Windy City Smokeout and more.

The recent album, including standout tracks “Oklahoma” and “Bench Seat,” serves as a follow up to his three-part project, The Album, which featured his latest Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Drinkin’ Beer.

This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited. The new music builds upon the success of his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, which featured the 3x Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career. Lambs & Lions followed Platinum-certified Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; Platinum-certified “Gonna Wanna Tonight” and Double Platinum “Ready Set Roll.” In addition to guesting on sold-out stadium shows with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice consistently sells out venues on his own headlining tours, including the recent Get Western Tour in support of his new music, and he will join Dierks Bentley’s Gravel & Gold Tour this summer.

Chase Rice Sets "Fireside" for Release This Friday, May 10

May 6, 2024

Having tapped into a new creative well celebrated by Billboard as “one of 2023’s most unexpected artistic pivots” on his critically acclaimed album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, Chase Rice is prepared to get even more vulnerable on his forthcoming project. One of country music’s few Diamond-certified songwriters, he debuts the first preview of what’s to come this Friday, May 10 with “Fireside,” available for pre-order / pre-save HERE.

Penned by Rice alongside Jonathan Sherwood, Jackson Dean and producer Oscar Charles, “Fireside” offers a propulsive guitar-driven anthem embracing fiery passion and the intoxicating power of a relationship, with the single art paying tribute to the love story of his own parents. The song marks the first release from Rice off a forthcoming independent album expected later this year.

“The I Hate Cowboys album was a huge turning point for me,” reflects Rice. “I felt like a decade into this career, I finally discovered who I was and what I wanted to say – and a lot of that came out of me stepping back from the grind of Music Row, sitting alone with a guitar to write those songs. I found that I could be much more vulnerable that way and tap into some real-life, personal topics I’d never covered in my music before.

“As I started to work on this next project and continued down that path with out-of-town writing retreats in places like Montana, Alabama, Boston and Carolina, it felt important that it be an independent release coming straight from me. I’m sharing a lot of my real life on these songs and I can’t wait to see how that resonates with people in their own lives.”

While Rice still excels at creating music that thrills his sold-out live audiences, I Hate Cowboys pushed him to do so at a higher level, with Billboard noting, “the music is still propulsive with arena-ready moments, but is laced with deeper, more introspective themes” and Forbes declaring, “his latest album shows a deeper, more reflective Chase Rice than we’ve seen in the past… a full-circle, career defining journey for Rice, as both a singer and a songwriter.”

He brings the new song to the Grand Ole Opry next Tuesday, May 14 ahead of joining Dierks Bentley’s Gravel & Gold Tour visiting arenas and amphitheaters nationwide from June through September in addition to prominent sets at major festivals including Tailgate N’ Tallboys, Summerfest, Windy City Smokeout and more.

Chase Rice Unveils New Cleveland Cocktail & Bourbon Lounge "I Hate Cowboys"

March 11, 2024

Multi-Platinum entertainer Chase Rice is set to expand his hospitality ventures with the introduction of I Hate Cowboys, a cocktail and bourbon lounge with a Western feel located adjacent to his popular Welcome to the Farm venue in the Flats East Bank entertainment district of Cleveland, Ohio. Set to open March 16, the 2,400 sq. ft. new venture is again in collaboration with Forward Hospitality Group, Rice’s partner for both the Cleveland location of Welcome to the Farm as well as a second iteration in St. Pete, Fla.

I Hate Cowboys takes its name from Rice’s popular song featured on his recent critically acclaimed album, I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, with the venue seamlessly blending the rugged allure of a classic Western bar found in any-town-America with the intimacy and refinement of a modern cocktail lounge. Celebrating the beauty of contrasts, I Hate Cowboys embodies the spirit of late 20th century Americana, paying homage to renegades and risk-takers while striking a perfect balance between high-end sophistication and down-to-earth authenticity.

Guests at I Hate Cowboys can expect an exclusive selection of rare and allocated Bourbons and Tequilas, alongside delicately crafted cocktails and uncomplicated canned beers. The food menu features select items including a bison tartare, bone marrow, kale Caesar, a smash burger and the venue’s signature fried chicken.

“The I Hate Cowboys album honored the rebellious spirit of the American West that I fell in love with during my travels over the past few years, and this lounge concept felt like the perfect way to bring a celebration of that way of life to even more people,” says Chase Rice, who again played an integral part of the design process for the venue. “We’ve had so much fun bringing my Tennessee Farm to y’all at Welcome to the Farm, and can’t wait to introduce this new space next door that represents another side of me.”

I Hate Cowboys joins the original Welcome to the Farm venue in bringing Rice’s distinct perspective to the Cleveland area. Since opening in 2021, Welcome to the Farm has played host to frequent live music and special events including an annual Derby Day party, a Folds of Honor benefit and the "Nashville's Next" concert series highlighting rising artists, with the brand expanding in 2022 to the second location in St. Pete’s Central Arts District near the coast of Tampa Bay.

Chase Rice Celebrates Fans with "Oklahoma" Music Video; New Music in the Works

February 9, 2024

As he kicks off 2024 in the studio recording newly-crafted music, Diamond-certified singer/songwriter Chase Rice continues to celebrate 2023’s critically acclaimed album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell with today’s release of the official music video for fan-favorite track “Oklahoma” featuring Southall. Filmed across three dates during his recently-wrapped Way Down Yonder Tour, the video adds a visually stunning component to the standout song. Watch Below.

Billboard celebrates “Oklahoma” as the “album centerpiece…a potential signature song for an artist who’s somehow managed to totally change his handwriting a decade in,” while SPIN notes the “rambling seven-minute epic” epitomizes the “bracing and introspective set of songs” that comprise “a smart, funny and heartbreaking masterpiece with stylistic left turns” and PopCulture declares the “somber, haunting southern rock track” to be “one of the absolute best songs in Rice’s entire musical repertoire.”

“This song was inspired by a trip I took to Oklahoma where I ended up staying for about a week longer than I was supposed to, bird hunting and playing music,” reflects Rice. “When we recorded it with Read Southall – who is as Oklahoma as it gets – we just let everyone keep jamming out to finish the song. That created this really cool moment that fans have embraced at our shows, so we wanted to capture that live energy in this video and celebrate everyone who has come out to see us on the road.”

“It was an opportunity to shed light on the somewhat obscure reasons I hold my home state of Oklahoma so near and dear to my heart,” adds Southall. “At first thought of the collaboration, I will admit, I was a little nervous. I hardly ever write with other songwriters. However, after the recording process and hearing it all come together, I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of it.”

Rice once again collaborated on the video with director Kaiser Cunningham, who also directed the critically acclaimed feature for fellow standout album track “Bench Seat.” The emotionally-charged short film spotlighting addiction and mental health earned widespread recognition at film festivals both across the U.S. and internationally, with 31 selections and 16 awards at events including the Cannes World Film Festival, Oniros Film Festival, Benelux International Film Festival and more.

In addition to working on new music, Rice is also set to embark on his headlining Get Western Tour today, Feb. 8, with festival dates to follow this summer and new tour dates to be announced soon.

Fans will be treated to performances of Rice’s chart-topping hits as well as songs off his latest album, I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell. Recorded during an immersive two-week period at Rice’s farm outside Nashville with producer Oscar Charles and a live band using a makeshift recording setup, the album showcases a more raw, vulnerable side of the man praised by the Tennessean for having “crashed through a glass ceiling both he and the industry had imposed on his career” with the project and by Billboard as “an artist who’s somehow managed to totally change his handwriting a decade in.”

CHASE RICE’S “BENCH SEAT” MUSIC VIDEO CONTINUES TO IMPRESS AS AWARDS SEASON APPROACHES

August 15, 2023

16 Film Festival Selections Including Cannes World Film Festival, Onrios Film Festival, Benelux International Film Festival; 6 Awards & Counting

Emotional Song Inspired by a True Story Featured on Critically Acclaimed Album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell

When Chase Rice’s longtime friend came to him with an idea for a song about “a guy and his dog driving around together,” the Diamond-certified songwriter laughed. “That cliché was exactly the type of thing I was trying to avoid on this album,” Rice remembers. And yet, once he sat down with his acoustic guitar to craft what would become one of four solo writes on the critically acclaimed project, the result was anything but cliché. With “Bench Seat” and its corresponding music video, Rice pays tribute to that friend – and the dog that saved his life.

“My buddy was in a really dark place – to the point where he was ready to end his own life. It took a lot for him to take me back to that moment, but when he told me what stopped him it stopped me in my tracks: his dog came and laid his head on his lap, and that connection saved him,” Rice explains. “I wrote this song by myself with the point of view from the dog’s perspective – which might not be obvious right away – and what that moment might have meant for the two of them if not for that intervention.”

Building upon the emotional backstory of the song celebrated by the Tennessean as what “could be, by the end of 2023, one of the surprise candidates for Song of the Year." The official music video directed by Kaiser Cunningham offers a seven-plus-minute short film spotlighting the mental health struggle that affects countless people. The video’s intention is to encourage viewers to feel comfortable talking about the topic and seeking the assistance they need, with its conclusion pointing to available resources via wannatalkaboutit.com and encouraging anyone in crisis to call/text 988.

“For the first time in my career, I could envision the whole video as I was writing the song,” notes Rice. “I wanted to shine a light on the topic of mental health because this is something that makes way too many people feel alone and especially when addiction becomes part of the picture, one bad moment can have horrible consequences. I personally know how hard it can be to ask for help when you need it. I hope this helps start a few more conversations and helps people know they really aren’t alone."

“When my friend was in that moment, it was impossible to see anything but the heaviness. He was able to get the help he needed, though, and now he’s living a beautiful life and starting a family. That’s what this video is really about – showing you the potential for a happy end to the story if you are able to find a way to get help through the dark times.”

“As a director, it was imperative that we found certain angles, dynamic camera movements and a very specific look that makes the viewer feel the emotion the song itself delivers,” adds Cunningham. “I hope that everyone who watches this video realizes the importance of mental health. In my own life, having friends of mine from the Marine Corps commit suicide, it was an important message that I stand behind. If you need help, please get it. There’s always someone in your corner."

“The response has been overwhelming – from the film festivals to the media feedback – however more importantly the comments on the video from fans,” Cunningham continues. “These are real people, with real stories, and I’m incredibly grateful we could make a project that has had such an impact on people's lives and their stories.

Thus far, the “Bench Seat” video has been selected for 16 film festivals, taking home six awards while being named a semi-finalist and a finalist twice each – and counting.

The powerful song is one of 14 tracks on Rice’s latest album, I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, which also features current single “Bad Day To Be A Cold Beer.” Recorded during an immersive two-week period at Rice’s farm outside Nashville with producer Oscar Charles and a live band using a makeshift recording setup, the album ranges from admiration of a Western way of life to emotional reckoning, showcasing a more raw, vulnerable side of the man praised by Sports Illustrated for “his wild ride to redemption” than on any of his previous studio projects.
