Description:
Radford Student Programming and Campus Events (R-Space) presents country artists Chase Bryant and Danielle Bradbery in concert on Thursday, April 19, 2018 at Bondurant Auditorium located within Preston Hall on the campus of Radford University.

Music defines Chase Bryant. At every level and in often unexpected ways, 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 which is good because there’s no other way to explain how a 23-year-old Texan could already be a top-flight guitar player, head-turning songwriter, Red Bow recording artist and co-producer of his debut album.

One of the most celebrated new artists in today’s country music landscape, Chase Bryant’s 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 was a Top 20 Billboard Hot Country Song in the United States.

Raised in Orange Grove, TX (pop. 1,200), Bryant’s grandfather played piano in Roy Orbison’s first two bands and, later, for Waylon Jennings. His uncles co-founded the 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 his Roy Orbison connection, someone suggested a meeting with Roy’s widow, the late Barbara Orbison, a prominent Nashville publisher, who signed Bryant on the spot, making him her final signing before she passed.

Despite being on the cusp of exceptional achievement for someone so young, Bryant sees little difference between himself and the audience. “We’re all fans,” he says. “We’re all friends. And the music is our connection. To me, it’s a lifelong relationship and we’ll all get where we’re going together. That’s the beauty of music. This is the first chapter of my book, and I think people will find it defines where they’re at just as much as it defines where I’m at — because we’re the same – I’m 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.”

Twenty one-year-old, multi-faceted artist Danielle Bradbery is stepping into her own lane. Bradbery recently earned her first CMT Music Awards nomination for Performance of the Year with Thomas Rhett and Nick Jonas for their performance of “Close” on CMT Crossroads.

The Texas native has worked on fine-tuning her unique sound since getting her start winning Season 4 of NBC’s The Voice, where she soon found success with singles including the GOLD-certified “The Heart of Dixie” and “Young in America” off her self-titled debut album when she was just 16 years old. Since then, Bradbery has joined the bill with notable acts like Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, Brett Eldredge, Hunter Hayes and Scotty McCreery.
