Recently Announced Mainstage Performer At Cheyenne Frontier Days
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 28, 2025) – Saddle bronc athlete-turned-country artist Chancey Williams returns with an undeniably comical new release, “Take One For The Team,” available now on all digital platforms. In this humorous cautionary tale, Williams and his drinking buddy lock eyes with a pair of girls at the bar. Williams, showcasing his witty personality, selfishly teases his pal to get with the seemingly ‘ugly-duckling’ of the two – only for the girl Williams is chasing to make the same snide remarks about him. Packed with ironic one-liners, this classic country tune – written by Wynn Varble, Don Poythress, Tony Wood, Todd Tilghman, and produced by Bryce Long – is bound to make listeners everywhere crack a smile.

“In addition to being a great songwriter, Wynn Varble is one of the funniest guys I know. He has a great way of turning a phrase and it really shows up in this song,” Williams said of the release. “I saw Wynn sing it at a writers round one night and knew right away that I wanted to record it. But listen – you have to hear the whole song before you judge. Haha. This is a ‘what goes around comes around’ kind of a deal!”
“Take One For The Team” follows the Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame inductee’s February release, “Miles On Me,” “a song that blends restless wanderlust with deep emotional weight,”(Fandom Daily). Channeling a rough and tumblin’ cowboy who’s been through it, “Miles On Me” depicts a worn out and weathered persona that’s been through the trials of life. In the official music video for “Miles On Me,” released 2/21, Williams finds solace and perseverance via the love of his companion over a catchy, smooth melody and drum-driven beat.
Williams’ January release, “The Ballad of Uncle Don,” notably “a compelling meld of authentic storytelling that infuses his family’s experiences, alongside a heady mix of country tinged with rock influences, and Williams’ undeniably country voice” (Billboard). His memorable lyrics and rustic, twangy sound paint the picture of an accomplished “Oklahoma redneck” who was “hell on boots with a cowboy’s heart.” The video for the tune landed on CMT, where it went #1 as part of CMT’s 12 Pack series for five consecutive weeks.
Earlier this month, Williams was announced as one of this year’s Cheyenne Frontier Days mainstage performers – he’ll take the historic stage ahead of iconic duo (and fellow Hall of Famers) Brooks & Dunn on July 23.
This week, Williams announced his latest tour – aptly titled the Miles On Me Tour, that includes performances widespread across the Midwest beginning this spring, and into summer.
