Adam Chaffins

In an industry of overnight success stories and TikTok stardom, Adam Chaffins is something different: an award-winning musician who's genuinely put in the work, spending years in supportive roles — a road warrior for bluegrass icons; a songwriter for Grammy winners; a session musician for Nashville's elite — while steadily crafting his own sound. With the solo album Trailer Trash: Doublewide, he reintroduces himself not only as a collaborator, but as a craftsman, too, injecting his Appalachian roots into a distinctive brand of country music that's both timeless and timely. The follow-up to 2020's Some Things Won't Last, it's not just a record about Chaffins' present; it's about his past, too, filled with songs about the landscapes, lives, and larger-than-life characters of his native Kentucky. He blends humor with honesty on songs like “Sugarcoat It” and the gorgeous title track, then nods to the Bluegrass State’s influence with story-driven tracks like “Kentucky Girl” and “King of Coal Dust County.” Throughout it all, Chaffins flexes his chops as a singer/songwriter, co-producer, bassist and guitarist, showcasing himself as a classic journeyman for modern times.
