Early life

Chancey Williams was raised on a ranch near the small town of Moorcroft, Wyoming. Williams  followed his dad as a saddle bronc rider, going to the National High School Rodeo Finals, the College National Finals and won two rounds at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Williams has a total of four degrees, including a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and a Master's Degree in Public Administration from the University of Wyoming.[1]

Career

Williams and his drummer, lifelong friend Travis DeWitt, started the Younger Brothers Band with the initial goal of entering a high school talent contest.[3] In 2008 they were joined by Wyatt Springsteen (lead guitar and vocal harmonies) and Brooke Latka (fiddle and vocal harmonies). In 2012 Jack Robbins (bass) joined the band. The studio album Honkey Tonk Road was released in 2008,[4] Highway Junkie in 2011[5] and, recently, the Billboard charting Echo.[6] Chancey Williams and the Younger Brothers Band have sold, between digital downloads and CD sales, more than 40,000 records. In the fall of 2013, Williams signed with HomeSlice Artist Management, a subsidiary of the HomeSlice Group,[7] an entertainment and media company that is the worldwide exclusive licensing agent [8] of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
