Chi McClean

With wanderlust pulling at a restless spirit, Chi packed up an old, beat up truck and drove cross-country from New York to California. Years later, with more than a little soul searching along the way, Chi has since traded in the truck, a 9-5 job, a permanent address for a PO Box, and moved into a van with his surfboards, skis, mountain bike, guitars, and banjo. In between writing and recording projects, Chi now performs close to 200 dates per year, all across the country, while keeping an eye out for empty waves, untracked snow, flowy single track, and carnitas tacos along the way. Chi is currently working on his fourth, full-length album with Grammy Award winning engineer and producer, Richie Biggs (The Civil Wars, Hillary Scott & The Scott Family, Holly Williams, The Lone Bellow), out of Nashville, Tennessee, scheduled for release in early 2019. Chi McClean writes heart-felt, rootsy, Americana music from the soul for the road weary traveler and hopeless romantic in all of us. In addition to his three studio albums, Chi's music may also be heard on the Warner Bros. Television hit series, 'Hart of Dixie' on The CW Network. Chi McClean is an official, endorsing artist for Taylor Guitars, Deering Banjos, Elixir Strings and Franklin Strap.
