FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 19 2013

(NASHVILLE, TN) – RED BOW Records is pleased to announce the addition of Chase Bryant to its artist roster.

The 20-year-old Orange Grove, Texas native’s background includes an authentic musical pedigree:  Bryant’s grandfather played keys in Roy Orbison’s the Wink Westerners and the Teen Kings.  His two uncles founded chart-topping country band Ricochet, whose legacy includes the #1 hit “Daddy’s Money” among other Top 10 singles.

A left-handed guitar player, Bryant’s musical influences range from Keith Urban to Ray Charles.  Bryant holds the honor as the last songwriter Barbara Orbison signed to Still Working Music (now run by her son Alex), just prior to her passing in late 2011.  Bryant is co-managed by Gene Dries and Neal Spielberg of Spielberg / Dries Management.

“Everyone here at RED BOW and the BBR Music Group couldn’t be more excited about Chase.  He’s such a complete talent and artist – he’s not only a great singer but a great songwriter and great musician as well. Just as important, he knows who he is and is one of the few young artists I’ve ever signed that could actually go in and produce his own album. He’s so focused it’s almost mind-boggling.” says Benny Brown, President/Owner of the BBR Music Group.  “We’re going to be getting to work right away and the whole world is going to know what a huge talent Chase Bryant is before long.”

“Knowing there are people like Benny Brown who care primarily about the music lets me have faith that my first record will be the best I can make. It’s crazy to look back at 20 years of my life and realize that I was just a normal kid from a small town no bigger than Music Row and could follow my dreams until they came true. No dream is too big as long as you believe. The RED BOW and BBR Music Group staff has made me feel just like family. I can’t wait to embark on this journey with them!” says Bryant.
