CHASE MATTHEW ROCKS A SOLD-OUT RYMAN AUDITORIUM WITH A NIGHT FULL OF FAMILY, SURPRISES, AND UNFORGETTABLE MUSIC

Nashville, TN - February 21st 2025

From the moment a British AI voice boomed through the speakers—“I think I know why you’re here. Chase Matthew?”—the energy in the Ryman Auditorium was electric. Not only was the venue packed wall to wall with screaming fans and media, but the entire night was being filmed as part of Chase’s upcoming series, giving it a sense of significance before the first note was even played.

A cartoon truck with a guitar in the bed rolled across the screen as red lights bathed the stage. Chase launched into his set with rock-tinged country heat, backed by a high-octane band and video visuals that matched the adrenaline. By the second song, Pull Up, lyrics lit up the back wall and the crowd was already in party mode.

With a grin that didn’t leave his face all night, Chase ripped through Small Town Shit with visuals of trucks doing donuts in the snow, followed by We Had It Good, where he paused to acknowledge the crowd singing every word. When a broken guitar led to a surprise tease of Scorpions’ Rock You Like a Hurricane, the room erupted before Chase pivoted into Backroads of My Mind.

“This right here is absolutely bizerky Turkey!” he shouted, soaking in the moment. “This isn’t a show. It’s not a concert. This is a celebration—in my hometown!” And what a celebration it was.

He brought out his father to sing the second verse of Born For This, prompting a “Rocky!” chant from the crowd. Then things got intimate. Chase sat at a piano—nervously, he admitted—joined by pianist Connor to perform Everything He Couldn’t. It was raw, stripped back, and a powerful vocal moment that lit up the Ryman as fans turned on their flashlights at his request.

He paid tribute to the late Ben Vaughn with Sunday Clothes, then invited his memaw to the stage, who gave a heartfelt speech before leading the family in Lean On Me beneath digital stained glass. It was pure, emotional country gospel—one of the most moving moments of the night.

Then, with the iconic stair lights glowing, Chase returned for a fiery second act. He charged back in with County Line, the viral hit that started it all, followed by We All Grow Up and a call to the crowd:

“Where my country folks at?!”

He debuted You Turn off his upcoming album, reflecting on a huge year—sharing stages with Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean—but insisting nothing topped this Ryman night.

And then, he made good on a promise to bring friends out. Lauren Alaina joined him for Heart Half Empty, and a video message from Aldean played just before they paid homage with She’s Country. Austin Williams returned, and the crowd joined in a thunderous USA chant.

The British AI voice returned to tee up Darlin’, with fans waving free hats and Chase mixing in bits of Kris Kross, Billie Jean, and more. He was having a blast—and so was everyone in the building.

Finally, Chase closed with his second platinum single Love You Again, as the crowd roared into a spontaneous “CHASE! CHASE!” chant. Before leaving, he announced another hometown dream: headlining Bridgestone Arena this October alongside Keith Urban.

From raw family moments to rockstar swagger, Chase Matthew didn’t just play the Ryman—he claimed it.
