Chase Rice ‘Cruise’s with Florida Georgia Line to Platinum Success and a #1 Single
Chase
Rice, the independent, good-times singer-songwriter booked by CAA, celebrates platinum success this week with Florida Georgia Line (FGL) as the single Cruise secures the top spot on the Billboard charts. Cruise, certified platinum by the RIAA, was penned by Chase and his talented circle of fellow singer songwriters Jesse Rice, FGL’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, and FGL producer Joey Moi.
“When we wrote Cruise,
I don’t think any of us knew what the heck we were getting ourselves into,” says Chase. “We knew it was a hit, but had no idea it would do what it has done so far. It’s the kind of song that will always be that one song that forever changed our lives. Truly blessed to be a part of this one and so happy for the FGL boys.” |

Chase released his debut album Dirt Road Communion
in March 2012, peaking at #6 on the Country iTunes chart and punching through at #48 on the Billboard Top Country Album Chart. The album features strong rooted contemporary country songs that invoke a good times spirit like the lead single “How She Rolls,” alongside “Pop a Top” and “Whoa,” but you’ll also find personal and insightful examinations of his darker side on “Jack Daniel’s & Jesus” and “Room 205.” Chase moved to Music City shortly after coming in runner-up on the hit TV series CBS Survivor: Nicaragua. Before his bold move to Nashville, Chase was a star on the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill football team. He’d trade in his Carolina blue to suit up for Hendrick Motorsports after college where he served on the pit crew for Ryan Newman and Jimmie Johnson. Since the move, this North Carolina reared performer has been running at full throttle developing a grass roots connection to his ever expanding fan base. This CAA booked artist has hit stages throughout 2012 with Willie Nelson, Jake Owen, Kellie Pickler, Kip Moore, Joe Nichols, Love & Theft and Phil Vassar.
