Chandler Dozier

Chandler Dozier is a 23-year-old singer/songwriter native of Troy, North Carolina. He embodies a long-forgotten neo-traditionalist country sound reminiscent of music from the 1950s and 60s. He draws musical inspiration from the Bakersfield sound out of southern California, early Bluegrass of the Appalachians, as well as the Neo Traditionalist movement of the 1980s. His main influences include Dwight Yoakam, Merle Haggard, and Buck Owens through which he has acquired an ear for authentic country music. Now residing in Nashville, Tennessee, he has molded himself through playing countless nights with his band in the honky tonks of lower Broadway and consistently writing to perfect his traditional barroom sound. With the driving force of train beats and shuffles, utilizing heavy fiddle along with pedal steel, and country telecaster guitar playing he strives to maintain a true country sound while giving liberties to always sound fresh and exciting.
