Casey Chesnutt Casey, the son of "Too Cold At Home" singer Mark Chesnutt, grew up surrounded by '90s country. By the time he was a teenager, Casey started to develop his own diverse taste in music and dug into the Texas Red Dirt scene. As he got older, he started trying to write similar songs. But his artistic point of view confused those in his inner circle. His dad is a nationally known country artist, and Texas Red Dirt is niche with limited reach. After Casey finished his time in the Marine Corps, he intensely focused on his music and chasing his creative dreams. He knew his songs wouldn't work in mainstream country because people heard his last name and expected a '90s country sound. He unsuccessfully tried to write '90s country music, but one of his friends penned a song called "Even Texas Couldn't Hold Her" that he thought would resonate with '90s country fans. Casey recorded it, and the result toed the line of the music he wanted to make and what people expected to hear from him. After that, the young singer felt more comfortable recording and promoting his own music. He recorded an entire album in his hotel room and self-released it, still trying to steer clear of the Nashville sound. Casey's new record label sent him some songs he feels passionate about and believes will showcase who he is as an artist. Look for new music from Casey Chesnutt on Clearwater Records in 2025.
