Parker McCollum

A singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and dedicated road warrior, Parker McCollum began building a following in his native Texas with 2015’s The Limestone Kid. The album track “Meet You in The Middle” became a hit on Texas’ regional radio chart — no small feat for an independent, 22-year-old musician — but it was the album’s widely-acclaimed follow-up, Probably Wrong, that helped Parker find national success. Compared to John Mayer and Jason Isbell by Rolling Stone, Parker supported the album with a string of sold-out shows, bringing record-breaking crowds to venues like San Angelo’s RiverStage and two sold-out Billy Bob’s along the way.

Born in Conroe, TX, the 29-year-old entrepreneurially-spirited artist bridges the gap between Texas’ homegrown music scene and Nashville’s country-industry headquarters. His songwriting, which has been hailed by The Austin Chronicle for “carrying on the traditions of Texas music without pretension or referring to pickup trucks,” earned him a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Nashville in May 2018 and a recording deal with Universal Music Group Nashville in June 2019.

McCollum released his major label debut album Gold Chain Cowboy July 30th on MCA Nashville. Straddling Texas and Nashville, Parker is “a no-holds-barred, confessional singer-songwriter who excels at relatable tales,” according to Rolling Stone. “McCollum’s ability writing and releasing unique story songs leaves a lasting mark on the listener,” says Billboard while American Songwriter declares, “the Texas native teeters on the edge of next-level superstardom.”

Parker wrote all 10 songs that make up Gold Chain Cowboy including his Platinum-selling No. 1 hit “Pretty Heart” and his latest song on country radio “To Be Loved By You.” In addition to writing album track “Rest of My Life” solo, Parker shares songwriting credits with Jon Randall, Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers, Randy Montana, Rhett Akins, Miranda Lambert, and Songwriters Hall of Famer Tony Lane.

 

Gold Chain Cowboy, produced by Jon Randall, expands on Parker’s outcast drifter ethos set forth on his widely praised Hollywood Gold EP released last fall which became the top-selling debut country EP of 2020. Parker has been named an ‘Artist to Watch’ by Billboard, HITS Magazine, Rolling Stone, CMT, Opry NextStage, SiriusXM, RIAA and more.

Chancey Williams

“Authentic Cowboy,” is the way most people would describe Wyoming neo-traditional artist Chancey Williams. The charismatic singer / songwriter grew up on a ranch in the northeastern corner of Wyoming, one of the least populated areas of the United States. Rodeo, wrestling and academic talents took him first to Casper College and then to the University of Wyoming. Chancey earned several degrees, including a Master’s in Public Administration, but it was music and the camaraderie of the road that has found a sound at once familiar and his alone.

Now comes new music! Chancey Williams released “Blame it on the Rain” in November, written with long-time producer and songwriting soulmate Trent Willmon. Williams and Willmon, who also produces Cody Johnson, penned the new song about how Cowboys never cry, they just find a way to say it must have been something else. “The Saint,” released during the 2021 National Finals Rodeo, is an old school justice and revenge song I wrote with Trent Willmon. I was inspired by an old western I like. This is eye-for-an-eye, old west style. Is he a sinner or a saint? Is he justified or just a killer? You decide. “Blame it on the Rain” and “The Saint” are available wherever music is streamed and downloaded. The 2022 tour will launch at the MusicFest Steamboat in the Colorado mountains and then carry Chancey Williams across the country.
