Featured Country Singer/Songwriter Chancey Williams
Saddle Bronc athlete turned neo-traditional country music sensation, Chancey Williams, has gone from competing on horseback to performing on center stage.
As one of only two artists (Chris LeDoux) to both compete in the rodeo at Cheyenne Frontier and perform on its main stage and the only singer/songwriter to be endorsed by CINCH®, Williams is the next authentic cowboy of country music.
Growing up on a ranch in the northeastern corner of Wyoming, Williams is one of the proud few hailing from Moorcroft, WY – a town so small it doesn’t need stoplights. Rodeo, wrestling, and academic talents took him first to Casper College and then to the University of Wyoming. Chancey earned several degrees, including a Master’s in Public Administration, but it was music and the camaraderie of the road that continues to take him all over the United States.
2021 brought a sense of “near normalcy” back on the road in many areas of the country. Chancey finished out last year with a tour sponsored by CINCH, a series of dates with Toby Keith, a sold-out show with Cody Johnson at the Ryman Auditorium, and an especially memorable concert as direct support for one of his idols, Alan Jackson. The National Finals Rodeo returned to Las Vegas and Chancey headlined the main showroom at South Point, “ground zero” at the most important rodeo event in the world.
Beginning 2022, Chancey was named iHeartRadio’s 2022 Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards Entertainer of the Year. Williams also won Songwriter of the Year for ‘The Saint’ and Album of the Year for his most recent record produced with country hitmaker, Trent Wilmon, 3rd Street. Recently, The WME Artist has also inked a new development deal with radio programming legend John Marks, who also led Sirius/XM “The Highway,” and then the Nashville office at Spotify.
Williams announced the release of his highly-anticipated, upcoming album, One of These Days – and, along with it, the title track and upcoming single – out 3/24. Williams has been praised for writing and performing with an “honesty that feels real…and quite timely” (Taste of Country) – and One of These Days is no exception, further cementing Williams as the next authentic cowboy in country music.
Chancey’s current tour includes multiple dates with Parker McCollum and an appearance at Cheyenne Frontier Days with Dierks Bentley. Watch Chancey’s video The World Needs More Cowboys HERE.
Rhythm & Rawhide Orchestra Conductor Jason Altieri
The orchestra will be led by symphonic legend Jason Altieri, the charismatic conductor many of us know as Director of Orchestras at the University of Nevada, Reno. Fewer of us know of Dr. Altieri’s national acclaim (Carnegie Hall, Disney, and performances in 50 states!), his international acclaim (opera houses around the globe), or his advocacy for music education and youth outreach. The alchemy of Altieri and Chancey Williams along with local musicians on a single stage is irresistible and should not be missed.
