Wedding & Willow’s versions out now
National Daughter’s Day is Monday, September 25th, and Chase McDaniel has released two new acoustic versions of “Your Daughter” in celebration. An acoustic wedding version and Willow’s version are available now via Big Machine Label Group.
Raised in the small town of Greensburg, Kentucky by his grandparents, McDaniel is one of Nashville’s most tenacious singer-songwriters and shining example of how kindness, persistence and curiosity pays off. After graduating from the University of Louisville, he chased his dream of country music all the way to Nashville but the streetwise go-getter, who is no stranger to hard times, found misfortune once again—this time courtesy of the pandemic.
Jobless and down to his last $12, he almost packed it up and headed home, if not for a friend who loaned him enough to cover rent for just a few more weeks. He gave this shot everything he had — in those weeks, he submitted more than 50 job applications until he got one, began working double shifts, sleeping as little as four hours a night, and writing and recording with his producer and best friend Jerry Jacobs every other minute of the day. Grateful for the second chance, Chase put his heart and soul into making his music, sharing the good, the bad and the ugly – and fans have connected with his strength through vulnerability and honesty—as well as his enigmatic swagger.
The self-aware “Project” landed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Digital Sales and iTunes Country single charts and the heartbreaking track written about his sister “Your Daughter” reached No. 3 on the all-genre chart, an unprecedented feat for the 28-year-old talent, who was recently signed to Big Machine Records/Big Machine Label Group.
Now taking his country and rock flair and rich baritone vocals (it’s no surprise Josh Turner’s Long Back Train was his first CD) on the road in front of sold out audiences across the country, he is aiming to help others find the light and is working on new music.
