TO BENEFIT THE USO AND THE INDEPENDENCE FUND
NASHVILLE, TENN. – Just announced, GRAMMY®-nominated multi-instrumental singer-songwriter Chandler Walters will host the First Annual Walters Western Christmas in partnership with Barstool Nashville on December 11. All proceeds benefit the USO and The Independence Fund. Toy donations can be dropped off now through Dec. 11. All toys donated get put into the hands of military families via the USO’s Holly Jolly Holiday Program.
Barstool Nashville will donate $1 of all “Cranberry Kringle” (speciality drink) sales for the month of December. For more information about the event or to make donation, please visit the event page here.
Walters Western Christmas is the seasonal extension of Chandler’s beloved monthly Walters Western Wednesdays that spotlights his artistry, classic-country music tradition and community, hosted at Blind Barber. Earlier this month, Walters celebrated the release of recent song “All I Need Is You” with a packed room for the November installment.
“All I Need Is You” follows recent jukebox-friendly “Justa One Kiss,” as well as Cadillac Sessions‘ originals “Worth The Trouble” and “Whatever Happened To Us” alongside a cover of Vince Gill’s “One More Last Chance.” The past two years have proven to be a whirlwind for the young triple threat. Walters’ publishing deal signed in 2024 with ERN’s Cadillac Music led to a GRAMMY®, CMA and ACM nomination for his colossal co-write on Post Malone’s 5x Platinum, all-genre No. 1 single “I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen).” He spent the spring and summer on Post Malone’s The BIG ASS Stadium Tour as an opener, member of Post’s band playing pedal steel and host of official after parties dubbed Walters Western Road Show in select cities.
Looking ahead, Walters is set to join ERNEST on his Live From The SouthTour in 2026 as well as Josh Ross’ Later Tonight Tour. Currently in the studio with more new music on the horizon, stay up to date with Chandler Walters here.
ABOUT CHANDLER WALTERS
Bringing energy back to the classic-country tradition, Chandler Walters is a 22-year-old multi-talented native of Marietta, Georgia, signed to ERN’s Cadillac Music / DeVille Records. Already a seasoned steel-guitar player and multi-Platinum, all-genre No. 1 songwriter, his burgeoning artistic career is now kicking off, schooled on a mix of rock and country influence. The guitar slinger moved to Nashville on a whim in 2021, picking up steel guitar and catching the attention of hitmaker ERNEST in the process, who promptly added Walters to his band. Traveling the world while learning song craft from the modern greats, he signed a publishing deal with ERN’s Cadillac Music in 2024, earning monster success as co-writer on Post Malone’s 5x Platinum, all-genre No. 1 single “I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen).” Walters posted six cuts on Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion in total, and has also co-penned tracks for ERNEST (including “I Went To College, I Went To Jail” (feat. Jelly Roll)), Bailey Zimmerman (“Is This Really Over?”), Charles Wesley Godwin (“Dead To Rights”) and more. Now signed to DeVille Records, he made his artistic debut on Cadillac Sessions – a compilation album mixing classic style with a new-Nashville swagger, introducing Walters and his label mates to the world. Boasting organic, live-show inspired country sonics (with plenty of steel guitar) and a knack for modern language, Walters’ songs like “Justa One Kiss” find a proven hitmaker turning “real shit” into catchy, singalong anthems.
