On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Kentucky native Chace Saunders to talk about how growing up around bluegrass shaped the foundation of his sound and storytelling. Raised in the heart of the Bluegrass State, Chace was surrounded by pickin’ circles and front porch harmonies — but his influences don’t stop there.

We dive into how artists like The Doobie Brothers, Frank Ocean, Tyler Childers, Colby Acuff, and Kid Cudi have all played a role in shaping his unique blend of country, soul, and honest songwriting. It’s a conversation about roots, range, and carving out your own lane while honoring where you came from.
