Chase Matthew: Growing Up Broke, “All My Exes” & AI in Country Music

Country music rising star Chase Matthew joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for a raw and honest conversation about hard work, resilience, and staying true to his roots. Chase reflects on growing up with nothing, battling adversity, and how his love for rural America (from tobacco farms to small-town life) shaped both his character and his sound. We dive into the balance between independent music and the importance of country radio, his thoughts on AI in music, collaborations like “All My Exes” and what drives his songwriting. Chase also gives us a peek behind touring with stars like Travis Tritt, Riley Green, and Jake Owen, and his Mount Rushmore of country music. From humble beginnings to the national stage, Chase Matthew’s story is all about grit, growth, and chasing something bigger.
