In this episode of Outside The Circle, Brian and Ronnie sit down with rising artist Chandler Dozier, whose heartfelt songwriting and soulful delivery are capturing attention across the country music world.

Chandler takes listeners back to his roots in Troy, North Carolina, a small rural town where music was more of a dream than a household staple. He talks about discovering country music on his own terms, drawing inspiration from legends like Buck Owens, Marty Robbins, and Jerry Reed — even when his own family wasn’t playing them at home.

The discussion moves through his creative process, his time in Nashville, and the making of his debut EP — a project that reflects his genuine love for storytelling and honest lyricism. Chandler opens up about the challenges of being new in a competitive city, finding his musical identity, and staying true to the heart of country music while adding his own modern edge.

It’s an inspiring, down-to-earth conversation about roots, resilience, and the power of music to connect generations.
