Chad Wayne

About Me

Coming from the small town of Santa Fe, Texas and a very musical family most noteably his mom and cousin it's no surprise Chad Wayne started pursuing music in his later years. With early influences ranging from 80's rocker and soap star Rick Springfield, Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, country band Little Texas, country music hero George Strait to idol Keith Urban, guitar slinger Brad Paisley, iconic Vince Gill, Canadian superstar Shania Twain, buddies Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney and Gary Allan also bands Emerson Drive and Rascal Flatts to newcomers Jason Aldean and Dierks Bentley. His younger years would always find him singing around the house and for the family. You can hear a sample of that at the start of his self titled CD.
In 1993 this self taught guitar player started polishing his skills in a few bands as well as collaborations with friends before deciding to take the solo plunge in 2000. "It was kinda scary at first but once I started exposing my music I knew right away I was on to something". It was then the unique style was evolving for all to experience garnering an enthusiastic response. The self titled debut drew in 12 tracks including "Cowboys Dream" which is becoming a fan favorite even though it wasn't originally planned to be on the CD. The second CD Go! showcases another dozen original tunes and digs deeper into a more mature song writer than before with a voice that was pinned "soft hook". "This CD is full on emotion I just opened up and the songs came out". The newest CD Where In The World comes out soon with a small select city tour of the same name and video footage being filmed to add a DVD with the collection. " I just can't wait to get out there to the masses and meet everyone of my fans and gain new ones as well".
With dreams of playing the Grand Ole Opry and the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo with this kind of passion and drive it is only a matter of time Chad Wayne turns dreams into reality. "I would love to open Shania Twain's shows and tour with her". " I love making music and performing, making a lasting memory for the people that hear it". To all the "Wayneiacs" out there and the people discovering his music for the first time get ready cause the ride is now taking passengers.
