Casey Chesnutt Finds Belles Ringing In His Home
Former Marine Casey Chesnutt – one of major star Mark Chesnutt’s three sons – is surprised by a bucolic belle in his home on his Nu Country TV debut.
Casey, 28, performs in his Uninvited Guest video that follows previous hit Even Texas Couldn’t Hold Her.
The singer cut an indie album in his hotel room on his arrival in Nashville.
Casey is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and drives his truck more than 3,000 miles each week to visit his three-year-old daughter and play gigs.
Casey, the son of Too Cold At Home singer Mark Chesnutt, grew up surrounded by ’90s country.
As a teenager he developed his diverse taste in music and dug into the Texas Red Dirt scene.
Cross Canadian Ragweed, Reckless Kelly, Randy Rogers, Stoney LaRue, and Wade Bowen are among his mentors.
“It was a little more rock and roll, and they had long hair, and they just were like rock stars,” Casey said of his heroes.
“But it was really dirty, kind of like raw gritty sound, kind of like Lynyrd Skynyrd but cooler. That’s what I started listening to and really fell in love with.”
Uninvited Guest is on his second album that follows two EPs Down Mexico Way and Lost Highway Songs.

He reigned in steer wrestling team roping and tie-down while in college and school.
Cowboy Every Time is on his eighth album on Gone Roping Records.

Boston born New Yorker Duncan Daniels praises western head wear in Cowboys Wear Stetsons in our Behind Bars double shot.
Duncan, 42, was born in Boston, raised in Nigeria and now lives in New York.
His Cowboys Wear Stetsons song and video was inspired by racially charged backlashes to a Facebook ad featuring a Black cowboy in a Stetson.
Cowboys Wear Stetsons is on Duncan’s Honesty & Nostalgia Deluxe 20 track album.
Waylon Wyatt – Jailbreak From A Femme Fatale
Arkansas teenager Waylon Wyatt suffers a jail break of a different kind before his recent Australian tour.
Wyatt and Tennessean Bayker Blankenship, 20, tried to escape a femme fatale in their Jailbreak video.
Jailbreak is on Wyatt’s second EP Out Of The Blue.
Waylon, just 19, played Riding Hearts Festivals in Melbourne and Sydney last month and the Zac Bryan tour.
Wyatt was just 17 when he debuted on our show with his Everything Under The Sun video.
Waylon hails from Hackett in Arkansas and released Phoning Heaven, Arkansas Diamond and Back To Then singles.
He was inspired by red-dirt contemporaries Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan and began writing songs at fifteen.
Wyatt finished them after long summer days spent working with his dad on construction jobs.
Waylon tours with artists diverse as Dwight Yoakam, Dylan Gossett and Cole Chaney.
Blankenship lives in Livingston in Tennessee and released his debut EP Younger Years in July 2024.
