If you think life on tour is just about screaming fans, performing and singing your hit songs, and practically living the life of a country music star, Chase Matthew is here to set the record straight. The “County Line” singer joined Backstage Country as Elaina Smith’s co-host, where he opened up about what really happens when you live out of a suitcase for months. Spoiler alert: even country boys need naps.
Chase Matthew on Touring
Matthew, who is fresh from touring with Keith Urban, is currently busy headlining his Holdin’ It Down Tour. Smith asked if he had scheduled any breaks for some deserved R&R after being on the road for so long. Matthew replied, “I feel like the days when I do take breaks, it's mainly to go work on something else.”
Headlining Holdin’ It Down Tour
Matthew also shared what it’s like to headline his own tour: “It’s been a lot of fun, a lot of cool stuff, a lot of technical difficulties, but we learned in the process. I feel like that's the stuff I'm going to appreciate one day, whether I'm playing arenas or stadiums or the same size rooms, whatever it is. One day I'm gonna look back and tell my kids, ‘Man, those were the good days,’ even when we were working out the technical difficulties.”
