NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (Aug. 8, 2025) – With ELDORA, arriving September 19, Diamond-certified songwriter Chase Rice proves once again that he’s not chasing anything but the truth. The follow-up to 2024’s Go Down Singin’ – his first release since stepping away from the major label system – doubles down on the grit, heart and unfiltered storytelling that’s always been at the core of Rice’s songwriting. Pre-order/pre-save HERE.
Written primarily in the quiet solitude of Eldora, Colorado, in the days following his recent performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the 12-song album is as much a reflection of place as it is of person. In that mountain stillness, Rice found a creative reset – one rooted not in chasing hits or chart positions, but in chasing moments that matter and songs that leave a mark.
“This is the kind of music I’ve always loved and the kind of stories I’ve always wanted to tell,” reflects Rice. “I hope the past few years have helped fans see that this is the real me, not the person who was chasing trends or afraid to do something different. ELDORA isn’t about proving anything – it’s about making something that’s real and letting it speak for itself.”
That intention is clear in the release of today’s offering, ‘Circa 1943‘. Written by Rice alongside Wyatt McCubbin and producer Oscar Charles, the song tells a bittersweet love story set against the backdrop of World War II, paying quiet tribute to the courage and heart of the Greatest Generation. Listen HERE.
“Harold and Berniece were my mom’s parents,” shares Rice. “They didn’t meet around 1943, he never took a bullet to the leg to my knowledge, she had brown eyes, not blue, he was not a Marine (he was very proudly Air Force), and she was not a nurse in our military. However, he did make her laugh and loved her with every ounce of his being. Their names are the only true parts about this story – nevertheless, I hope it honors them and anybody from the Greatest Generation who fought and/or died for our amazing country.”
Today’s release joins ‘Two Tone Trippin’‘ in previewing the forthcoming project, with the jangly, guitar-picking joyride capturing the heart of summer and the spirit of a classic American truck – revving up a well-worn symbol of Country storytelling with fresh detail and classic Country flair.
With Rice spending the summer exploring back roads out West in his own two tone, fans can catch him between adventures on the Go Down Singin’ International Tour, underway now.

ABOUT CHASE RICE:
With more than 2.8 million albums sold and over 3 billion total streams – plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe – Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond. His independent album ELDORA arrives Sept. 19, with early previews ‘Two Tone Trippin’’ and ‘Circa 1943’ available everywhere now. The project follows 2024’s Go Down Singin’ and 2023’s I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, with both brought together on the songwriter-forward Fireside Sessions.
Rice’s sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life – from emotional reckoning to time spent traveling solo with his dog, Jack, camping across the American West. This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited.
His earlier catalog includes hits like the 3x Platinum, two-week chart topper ‘Eyes On You’, Double Platinum ‘Ready Set Roll’, Platinum-certified No. 1 ‘Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen’. and more, as well as breakout projects Lambs & Lions, Ignite the Night and The Album, with Rice also serving as a cowriter of the genre-defining, 14x Platinum smash ‘Cruise’. In addition to guesting on sold-out stadium shows with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice consistently sells out venues on his own headlining tours across the U.S. and abroad, with the Go Down Singin’ International Tour underway now.
