The Grand Ole Opry Shares Chase Matthew’s “My Opry Debut”

On March 14, rising Warner Music Nashville artist Chase Matthew made his debut at the iconic Grand Ole Opry, and today (6.26), The Circle Network shares a behind-the-scenes look at Matthew’s experience on the legendary stage with the latest installment of its “My Opry Debut” series.

Here are some things Matthew shares in the episode:

* Revering the Opry as a rare Nashville native

* Calling his Mamaw when he learned he would be making his debut – and inviting her to step on into the circle with him

* Growing up playing guitar in his grandparents’ house and how he and his family knew he was meant to make a career in music at a young age

* A tearful rendition of his dreamer’s anthem “Born For This”

Take a further peek behind-the-scenes of Matthew’s big day with PEOPLE Magazine here.

Matthew released his 25-track major label debut, ‘Come Get Your Memory,’ earlier this month (6.9). Featuring his debut radio single, “Love You Again,” which is currently climbing the country radio charts, every song on the packed-out project peels back a new layer of Matthew’s signature sound and offers an in-depth dive into every corner of the viral country riser’s musical appeal – from rock-driven anthems, backroads singalongs and more. He recently hit the Riverfront Stage at CMA Fest, and he’s set to appear at Rock The South, Country Thunder, and more through the fall, alongside nationwide dates on his headline 'Love You Again Tour.’
