Chandler Walters

But to see Jelly Roll on there was just pretty amazing.

Um, so on the first day, uh, you've got Ashley McBryde as the headliner, then it goes into Cooper Alan, Jackson Dean, Carter Faith, Blake Whitten, and then the CMA Spotlight Stage includes Late Night Foughts, Collin Lynch, and Chandler Walters.

Um, it's a really interesting bill because you've got Ashley McBryde at the top, and then you've got a mixture of established names and artists that are very much part of the next generation.

Um, Ashley McBryde started out-- she's been very loyal to the UK, so I'm extremely pleased for her to see her headlining C2C 'cause she thoroughly deserves it.

We hope you enjoyed the show this week, and don't forget to check us out at facebook.com/thecountrygoldminepodcast.

Leaving you off this week with some Chandler Walters.

Born and raised in Missouri, Chandler traded his pickup truck for a microphone, proving you can chase dreams without leaving the dirt behind.

Rumor has it he's got a playlist full of guilty pleasures that would make your grandma blush.

[laughs]

Oh, I tell you, Colin Lynch, Chandler Walters, Benny G., um, Jason Scott and The High Heat, who we've just seen with-

Yeah

... um, Josh Ross, and Graylyn James at last-

All of his songs started playing.

Also, on the CMI Spotlight stage, I am so excited for Chandler Walters.

After he cancelled at the Long Road, I was gutted about Billy Zingerman, but I was actually more gutted about him.

Yeah, you know.

But looking at the Saturday spotlight stage, I'm not going to lie, I don't know any of those names.

No, well, the only one Chandler Walters rings a bell, but I'm not going to say I'm like a massive diehard fan of any of them.

So I think that's going to be a bit of listening for me leading up to.

And then, well, let's look at your favourite day of the three.

Yeah.

You have a similar path to Chandler Walters where Earn was scrolling on TikTok and just comes across as singing.

So take me back to that moment when you were just back home in Kentucky and posting on a whim on social media.

I was actually I was coming down here for.
