The Chad Cooke Band Earns their Ninth #1 with

"Smoke & Mirrors"

In and out of honky-tonks all across the United States, Chad Cooke Band delivers contemporary country with a 90's flare and unrivaled energy. As a band in its truest form, their 4-part harmonies and captivating stage performance has sent shockwaves across the country music scene and beyond.

Since the release of their debut album, Easy Way Home, in December of 2016, the band's first single, “Oil Man”, continues to be a fan favorite with over 10 million streams and a music video that has amassed over 15 million views across social platforms.

Following the viral popularity of “Oil Man”, the band set off to Nashville in March of 2018 to record their next project. Their sophomore album, Risk It All, is honest Texas Country music with just enough modern shine to attract the attention of Miller Lite, Lucchese Boots, and rodeos across the United States.

The first radio single from the album, “Whatever It Takes”, climbed all the way to #3 and set the record for the longest-charting single on Texas/Red Dirt Radio at 43 weeks on the Texas Regional Radio Report.

Building on the success of “Whatever It Takes”, the band's following six singles, “Life Behind Bars”, “Four Minutes”, "Cowboy's Cowgirl", "Bringing Country Back", "Señorita Sky","I Just Want You", "Same Place Twice", and "Anderson County" all reached #1 on Texas/Red Dirt Radio.
