CHUCK MEAD is a Country singer with a rock n roll heart. He’s also a renowned songwriter, producer, music director, musicologist and architect behind the rebirth of Lower Broadway and the Global Neo Traditional Country music movement.
This Kansas native, has been at the forefront of what has come to be known as Americana Music for the better part of 25 years. Perhaps best known for co-founding the famed ‘90s Alternative Country quintet, BR5-49, whos 7 albums garnered a CMA Award for Best International Touring Act and three Grammy nominations, helped build an indelible bridge between authentic American Roots music and millions of fans worldwide.
Since then he’s toured the globe, entertained thousands on the high seas, released 4 solo albums, made 137 appearances on the Grand Ole Opry, co-produced critically acclaimed tribute albums to Johnny Cash & Waylon Jennings, acted as Musical Director/Supervisor/Producer of the Broadway hit musical Million Dollar Quartet AND the companion CMT television show Sun Records.
With a deep connection to Memphis and a burning desire to keep building musical bridges, Chuck packed up the band and took time out of his crazy schedule last summer to record his fourth solo album with Matt Ross-Spang (Margo Price/John Prine/Jason Isbell/Al Green) at legendary Sam Phillips Recording Studios, the result of which, ‘Close To Home’, was released June 21, 2019 on Plowboy Records.
Since 2019 Chuck has also hosted a radio show on 650AM WSM Radio in Nashville called “Face the Music with Chuck Mead.”
LAID BACK COUNTRY PICKER: Hailing from the hills of eastern Kentucky, Laid Back Country Picker plays good music and treats everybody right. Blurring the lines with wit and hot picking, this show combines 70s guitar rock, honky-tonk and punk, all with hillbilly sensibility. The band features the powerhouse drumming of his silent partner “Honey”. In her curlers and moo-moo, Honey has no time for foolishness. LB attracts fans from many genres, including rockabilly, punk and metal, as well as more traditional country and rock and roll purists. Rejecting the modern for the surreal, Laid Back and Honey deliver a unique musical experience.
Laid Back has performed at the fabled Ryman Auditorium, Bonnaroo and Red Rocks. He has toured the nation and is a mainstay on Sirius Outlaw Country Radio. LB and Honey are at home on any stage, bringing smiles wherever they go and never failing to connect with rockers both young and old.
