Rice headlines fall dates

Monday, July 20, 2015 – Chase Rice will launch his own headlining tour, JD and Jesus Tour 2015, starting in October with The Cadillac Three opening select dates.

"When I was playing football in college, I learned the most about my peers - and my competitors - by studying their moves on and off the field," said the North Carolina native. "Inadvertently at first, but now out of this drive to personally be better for our fans, I have been engaging in the same practices I did while in school: observing and performing alongside Chesney and Church, two of my musical heroes, on stage night after night. But in doing so, I have honed my own style, and so when this tour ends, I want to make sure my fans know they need to be ready because we're nowhere near done for the year."

Dates and on-sale information will become available later this week.

The former University of North Carolina football player initially gained attention as the co-writer of "Cruise," the highest-selling country song of all time. He's since released Columbia Nashville/Dack Janiels number one album "Ignite the Night." The current single is "Gonna Wanna Tonight."

Rice will continue on the road with Kenny Chesney through the end of August while playing select solo and festival dates for the rest of the summer.

The Cadillac Three is Jaren Johnston (guitar and lead vocals), Kelby Ray (bass steel guitar, Dobro, acoustic and vocals) and Neil Mason (drums, percussion and vocals) and have made a name for themselves with their energetic live shows. Their sound veers towards rock with a lot of steel guitar from Ray.

Inspiration comes in many forms. Chase Rice found it through an existential crisis. As an integral part of the bro country movement, his catalog has plenty of beer, trucks and pretty girls to go around. After having stratospheric success with a co-write on the massive Florida Georgia hit "Cruise," he found that he had some things to say outside of the gloss and cliche of bro country. Enter his late father's love, who is on the cover as a tribute, a loyal canine companion and a bevy ...
CD review - The Album If you think you Chase Rice's "The Album" sounds familiar, that's because it was released earlier as two EPs. Aptly titled "The Album Part 1 and Part 2," he marries those 11 songs with three new songs and a collaboration with Florida Georgia Line. He showcases his songwriting skills with credits on nine tracks. The sum total feels like it was borne from the contemporary country playbook. Young love is in the air on unsubtly titled numbers like" Bedroom" ...
CD review - The Album Part II Chase Rice has embraced Nashville's new business model of releasing music more frequently. Rice's EP "The Album Part II" will combine with the surprise seven-song January release of "Part I." Rice said, "The Album Part II only has four songs, so it's really easy for people to go check out all four songs. They're all very different." The issue with incrementally releasing music, especially in the EP format, is a lack of cohesion. ...
