Mark Chesnutt Biography

Mark Chesnutt is one of Country’s true musical treasures. Critics
have hailed him as a classic Country singer of the first order and
some of Country music’s most elite entertainers, from George
Jones to George Strait, echo the sentiment.

Mark Chesnutt’s stature is easily gauged. He has 14 No. 1 hits,
23 top ten singles, four platinum albums and five gold records to
his credit; he maintains a front-and-center presence with a hefty
tour schedule year after year.

Country music critics and fans alike need look no further when it
comes to Country music basics. If you ask Chesnutt, he’ll tell
you, “It’s the music and the fans that have kept me around this
long.”

In a creative forum that sometimes confuses style with
substance, Mark Chesnutt possesses both. Remaining true to
himself as a traditional country artist, while keeping the pace with
the ever-changing country recording landscape, Mark Chesnutt
has a knack for picking great songs, delivering them with world-
class style and a heart-felt emotion that’s lived-in.

With a trademarked voice, Chesnutt has set the bar for his
generation and those that follow in his footsteps shaping the
music of today’s country music newcomers and the new country
music format.

Mark Chesnutt’s personal integrity combined

“Mark Chesnutt gave honky-tonk music back its soul,” noted
music critic Robert K. Oermann. “When Chesnutt appeared on
an arid musical landscape back in 1990, I dubbed him the hillbilly
messiah.” Oermann stated. “I still feel that way today and I’ll feel
that way decades from now.”

Now, some twenty-odd years later, Mark Chesnutt marches on to
preserve and honor the splendid works of the sculpturing
forefathers, George Jones and Waylon Jennings, to bring music
from the honky tonks right back to where country music began.

Dubbed as one of the “most reliable country artists” (Craig
Shelburne/CMT.com), Chesnutt does not disappoint. He is
masterful in his natural ability to let his voice shape the words to
create a moving musical motion picture (reminiscent of
traditional country music standards such as Charlie Rich’s
“Behind Closed Doors” and Vern Gosdin’s “Is It Raining At Your
House”) and his current single, entitled “When The Lights Go
Out (Tracie’s Song)” is the very essence of Chesnutt’s musical
fiber as an autobiographical reflection of his life and loves--
country music and his wife, Tracie.

Chesnutt got his start in the honky-tonks of Beaumont, Texas,
learning from his father, Bob Chesnutt, a singer, record collector
and major fan of classic country music. Playing alongside his
dad, Mark embraced his father’s influence one set at a time and
to begin making a name for himself. Mark sang covers by Lefty,
Merle, George and Waylon to develop his unmatched crowd-
pleasing rapport and his authentic country style.

Bob Chesnutt often traveled to Nashville to record and to
broaden his exposure. He began taking Mark along to record
when he was just 17. After nearly a decade of recording on
regional labels, word got out about this young country vocalist.
Music Row executives came to hear Mark on his own Texas turf
and recognized the depth of Mark Chesnutt’s raw talent. In
1989, he was signed to MCA Nashville and his list of accolades
tells the rest of his story. With the release of his first single “Too
Cold At Home,” Mark established himself as one of country’s
most authentic and talented vocalists. He won the CMA
