Everything You Wanted to Know About Country Sensation Chase Matthew
There's no doubt that Chase Matthew is one of the boldest and freshest voices in country music today, and after a knockout 2022, we can already tell this year is going to be even bigger for him.
The Warner Music Nashville star made quite the splash with his Born for This album, with his deep and rumbling, yet always warm, vocal tone and honest and resonant songwriting. He ended last year with sold-out shows across the country and the chart-topping "Love You Again," and he's gearing up for a headlining tour of his own in 2023. If you're like us and can't get enough of Chase, just keep scrolling to discover everything he shared with us as our latest Man Crush Monday.
