About this event
One of 21 upcoming events at Broken Hearts, and 5,566 across Chicago.
Chasen Wayne Mitchell was born on a team roping ranch in Kennedale, Texas and raised in a world fueled by rodeo, drag racing, and blue-collar grit. After his family relocated to Granbury in search of a safer life, he found refuge in music—and set his sights on Austin.At 17, Chasen made the move to the Live Music Capital of the World, working nights as a bouncer on 6th Street and days digging tunnels for a plumbing crew. His journey hasn’t been clean or easy—marked by addiction, close calls, and a long road of hard-earned experience that’s deeply embedded in his songwriting.Everything shifted after a breakout performance at Sagebrush in South Austin and a shout-out from Zach Bryan that put new eyes and ears on his work. With three full-length albums under his belt, Chasen has carved out a voice that’s as weathered and authentic as the Texas landscape he comes from. He’s built for the long haul—with a band behind him, songs that stick, and a stage presence that hits just as hard as his story. @chaywey on Instagram
