CHUCK MEAD is a Country singer with a rock n roll heart. He’s also a renowned
songwriter, producer, music director, musicologist and architect behind the
rebirth of Lower Broadway and the Global Neo Traditional Country music
movement.
This Kansas native, has been at the forefront of what has come to be known as
Americana Music for the better part of 25 years. Perhaps best known for co
founding the famed ‘90s Alternative Country quintet, BR5-49, whos 7 albums
garnered a CMA Award for Best International Touring Act and three Grammy
nominations, helped build an indelible bridge between authentic American Roots
music and millions of fans worldwide.
Since then he’s toured the globe, entertained thousands on the high seas,

With a deep connection to Memphis and a burning desire to keep building
musical bridges, Chuck packed up the band and took time out of his crazy
schedule last summer to record his fourth solo album with Matt Ross-Spang
(Margo Price/John Prine/Jason Isbell/Al Green) at legendary Sam Phillips
Recording Studios, the result of which, ‘Close To Home’, was released June 21,
2019 on Plowboy Records.
