Chase Bryant To Release The First Of Five EPs Set For 2024 This Month
Chase Bryant is gearing up for the release of his new EP Summerville on Jan. 19. This will be the first of five EPs he plans to release over the next year.
Co-written with collaborators including Tommy Lee James, Ryan Beaver and Joe Clemmons, Bryant produced and played every instrument on the new six-track EP. Named after his wife’s hometown of Summerville, South Carolina, the project’s coastal inspiration is evident across the six songs, including “She Used To Be,” “Over You By Now” and “She’s Just Like That.” Last month, Bryant shared the EP’s lead single, “I Still Do.”
Each of the five project boasts a unique sound to represent a different chapter in his life and was recorded in a different location to showcase his evolution as a creator. Each EP is named after the town where it was written and inspired by. The next EP Ashland City, out April 12, is named in honor of the town north of Nashville where Bryant penned it. Cayo del Grullo, coming July 19, is named after a favorite Texas vacation spot from his childhood. Clio, out Oct. 11, was cut in a cabin in rural Alabama and Avery Park, coming Jan. 10, 2025, is a nod to his old home outside of Brentwood, Tennessee.
“I’m never not writing, or tinkering in my studio,” says Bryant. “It’s most days of my life. I felt strongly that we couldn’t sit on this body of work forever. We all collectively wanted to get the music out, and thankfully found a way to spread it all out over this year.”
