Chasen Wayne shares life’s ups and downs on new LP Corpus
from Roots Music Rambler · host Francesca Folinazzo & Jason Falls
Chasen Wayne took the long road to honky tonk stage success. The native Texan’s first job in the music industry – if you could call it that – was a club bouncer as a teenager. His reputation and professionalism landed him at a popular venue in Austin, Texas where he wound up booking shows, too. Nevermind that his big claim to fame in Austin is booking a video shoot for Zach Bryan, a story he tells us in the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler. Wayne’s primary focus was on his weekend residency at the club and building his musical career. His new album Corpus shares stories of his path out of addiction to sobriety, fatherhood and much more. Wayne’s stories are mostly true and autobiographical. But they’re raw and revealing which has him destined to continue to grow an already avid fan base and keep living that honky tonk dream. We talked to Wayne about sobriety, father hood, digging tunnels and a lot more. And we got to hear the details behind the big Zach Bryan video shoot, too. Also on this episode of Roots Music Rambler, Frank and Falls discuss Morgan Wallen deciding not to nominate his latest album for Grammy consideration, the pop country vs. “real” country debate, and they share their picks for Pickin’ the Grinnin’ – music you should listen to.
