The Chad Reinert Show

About The Chad Reinert Show

Bio

Chad Reinert was born in the winter of 1984 in Maple Grove, Pennsylvania where he remained until his mid teens and then moved to a farm with his parents in East Central Pennsylvania. Chad continues to reside adjacent to the family farm with his wife and two children.

In 2013 Chad recorded his first album, "I Know A Man Who Can", in Nashville and had two songs from that album chart. The following year after recording his second Nashville album, he had the honor of being offered a song written for Elvis. The song was given to Felton Jarvis by his brother-in-law Don Frost. Elvis died before he could record it and the song was archived for 37 years until Don offered it to Chad to record.

Currently he is working on his next album slated to be recorded in Nashville in March 2016. This album is going to be full of surprises. Concentrating on his "influences" in the music industry, he will be recording with some of country music's iconic names who have made their mark in country music history.

The best way to describe his style of music would be for the most part traditional country with a mix of R&B, Rockabilly and pop. His unique style of music and sultry voice is always welcome and favored by many.

He currently has a single that is #1 on the Country Roots Independent Chart , Don't Take Her She’s All I Got". Chad has performed statewide at many of the county fairs, performing art centers, festivals and theaters and has also traveled to Ohio, New York, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee performing with the legendary, Ronnie McDowell, as well as several live appearances at The Nashville Theatre on Music Valley Drive across from the Grand Ole Opry. I am sure that your audience would just love him!

Stats:

Charts: Has consistently held several independent charts throughout 2014-2015 with seven hits, two reaching the top 10 and the hit single "Don't Take Her She's All I Got" taking the #1 spot for two weeks in a row before the entire album fell and remained at #3. Adele's #1 song "Someone Like You" Chad recorded and held on the charts for seven months holding for over four months in the top ten. When it fell four spots we thought it was over for "Someone Like You" only for the next week to climb back two spots! The fans can't get enough of the sultry sound of "Someone Like You". We released the next single thinking it was all over for "Someone Like You" so now he has two singles on the charts, adding in Merle Haggards "Mama Tried" a duet which he recorded a duet with Merle's son, Marty.

Albums: Six albums recorded in Nashville

Endorsements include Guitars by RS Guitarworks Winchester, Kentucky; Guitar Strings by Stringjoy Strings; Guitar Picks by The Pickguy.

Toneslinger Recording Studio & Toneslinger Records: Returning back to Nashville in the early spring of 2015 while recording the album "Keepin it Country", midway through the session, the owner offered to sell Chad the studio. This was an offer that he couldn't possibly refuse. Fulfilling his dream, he said "Yes" and in April 2015, Chad became the proud owner of Toneslinger Studio at Music Valley Village, Nashville across from the Grand Old Opry! He not only performs, but now helps others to get their start in the music business by giving them guidance, and even as much as sitting in on their sessions playing lead guitar.

The band that Chad brings back with him from Nashville is top notch, although not live, he accompanies his live performance with their recorded performance. This show is not only an awesome Nashville act, but he has perfected this method making him an affordable act for the venues he attends. The musicians he has are top notch. His steel guitar player is the same musician that travels the country with Ronnie Milsap. The drummer is Ronnie Dean McDowell, the legendary Ronnie McDowell's drummer and son, on the piano is Tim Atwood, who was the staff piano player for the Grand Ole Opry for over 35 years and currently is traveling with Ronnie McDowell and Jeannie Seally, the fiddle player has some of the most prestigious awards Nashville gives out, and lastly the bass player had been in Conway Twitty's band. The background vocals are by Nikki Nelson lead singer of Highway 101, and LaDonna Capps, background singer for Lorretta Lynn and Conway for years. Lead guitar of course is played live by Chad on stage, as well as piano, double neck guitar, and many other guitars accompany him on stage. As the owner of a recording studio right across from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Chad has at his access many of the greatest musicians in country music and he brings that back to your audience to enjoy.
Whenever Chad's and Ronnie McDowells tours cross they team up for an awesome show Chad playing lead guitar for him as well as performing a few numbers for Ronnie's audience. I'm sure when you see the video's you will understand and I know that you won't be disappointed in his performance.

Other accomplishments include 3 additional albums, appearances on shows that aired on Dish network and performed live with the legendary Ronnie McDowell at the South Mountain Fair in the summer of 2014. Chad returned several times to the stage with Ronnie McDowell and continues to perform with him whenever their tours cross.
Chad returned to Nashville in 2014 to record an album called "As Country As It Gets", the title song which Chad is blessed that his wife and children are able to go with him to all his performances. He is very grateful for his family's support.
In 2015 Chad’s “Keepin It Country” Tour weaved throughout Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Virginia and Tennessee.

In the spring of 2016 Chad will be returning to Nashville to record with some of Nashville’s legends for his new “Influences” album. There is much anticipation and excitement in the preparation stages of this awesome opportunity for him to perform with these legends! There will be a press release mid March as to those whom he will be singing duets with. So stay tuned……

UPDATE on new album. Chad did return to his studio in Nashville and recorded with some of the greatest names in country music. The album is promised to impress!!! He recorded numerous duets on the album with either the people who directly inspired him over the years or indirectly by those who were directly involved with the artist themselves. He had DJ Fontana, Elvis Presley's original drummer come in to the studio and record "Little Sister". The day that DJ came to the studio he celebrated his 85th birthday, but that in no way limited him with his drumming. He was spot on throughout the entire session!! What an awesome opportunity! Merle Haggard's son, Marty Haggard, came in to record the duet "Mama Tried". The timing was unfortunate, as Merle was very very ill at the time of the recording, and actually passed only a few short days after the recording. Daryl Singletary came in to record the duet "Amen Kind of Love". For many years Chad had listened to Daryl and was inspired by his traditional country roots. (expired link) Brown came in and recorded his "Wine into Water" duet with Chad. What an inspirational song for all to hear! It turns out that this is (expired link) Brown's actual testimony and Chad was honored to sing a duet with T! Nikki Nelson, lead singer of Highway 101, who Chad has branded "His favorite girl singer" and great friend to him, sang two duets, "Islands in the Stream" and It's Your Love". They knocked these two well known songs out of the park! Tommy Cash, stepped into his brothers shoes to sing a duet with Chad "Ring of Fire" and did an awesome job at it. LaDonna Brewer-Capps sang a duet "You Got It" originally cut by Roy Orbison a huge influence in Chad's music throughout his life. LaDonna has been on everyone of Chad's albums leading the backup vocals! Other musical greats featured on the album were Kenny Vaughan, playing lead guitar who Chad has always admired and fashioned his own style after along with the infamous James Burton, Elvis Presley's lead guitar player. Kenny is no stranger to most, playing lead guitar for Marty Stuart. You may have seen him on RFD TV on the Marty Stuart Show. Last but not least, Chad had the opportunity to record two duets with his mentor and friend, the one and only Ronnie McDowell! Ronnie has been very instrumental in Chad's career so Chad only saw it fit to record one of Ronnie's number#1 hits "Your Gonna Ruin My Bad Reputation" as well as "Suspicious Minds" a number #1 hit by Elvis Presley. Ronnie has been slated "the voice of Elvis" over the years performing many songs on for the block buster movie "Elvis and Me" staring Kurt Russell. Who better to sing "Suspicious Minds" with. Of course Elvis was very instrumental in Chad's music and if you listen real close, you might just hear a little bit of that!. Other songs featured on the album that are not duets but were cut by some other infuences of Chad's were, "Goodbye Time" originally a hit for Conway Twitty, "He Stopped Loving Her Today" named "The Greatest Country Song of All Time" by George Jones, featuring Paula Poe Murrell doing the infamous soprano backup for George Jones, an absolute favorite of Chad's and a huge influence to his music likewise! "Tennessee River" was chosen for it's fiddle solo and was performed by the one and only greatest fiddle player ever, Tim Watson! "Tennessee River" will now be the opening number for 2016 Tour. "Stop the World and Let Me Off" was chosen because of the love of Waylon Jennings music and what it has meant to Chad over the years. The album would have never been complete without the album title "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" where all of the artists had a part of.


After returning from Nashville with his new album in hand, Chad’s “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoe’s Tour” will begin in April with nearly 20 dates already scheduled for 2016 and more being added weekly.

His musical influences include Elvis, Ronnie McDowell, Marty Stuart, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Alan Jackson and more.

Letter from the Promoter

Many times as a promoter and booking agent I am asked this question: What kind of artist best describes Chad, a solo act or does he perform with a band? This is my response:

Chad is a solo artist and when in Nashville, where his musicians reside, he plays, records and performs with a band, however, he does not tour with a band and is a solo act, but would be better described as "multitalented solo act". One thing that you will find out about Chad is that he is a perfectionist when it comes to his music. While he respects what the other artists are doing out there, he does his own thing. His motto is, he wants to bring the absolute best music to people and make it affordable to them. He has hand selected his musicians in Nashville and to name a few, his piano man played as the house piano man for the Grand Old Opry for decades, his steel guitar player continues to tour today with Ronnie Milsap, his drummer continues to tour with his father, the legendary Ronnie McDowell, whom Chad has also performed live with a number of times, and one of his background singers was the lead singer in the country group Highway 101, just to mention a few. In order to bring folks the "Nashville Sound" and still make it affordable is for him to go to Nashville, record the actual album with the best musicians that country music has to offer, have all the backup vocals, everything down on his tracks, minus his lead vocal and guitar and present that to his audience. He is very passionate about his music and the players that he chooses to the point that just a few months ago he actually had the opportunity to purchase the actual recording studio in Nashville where he has cut his last four albums. He is now helping others possibly break into the music industry as well.

Just a side note, the actual sound from the stage is the sound that people purchase either through purchasing one of his albums in CD or electronically through the many outlets, such as ITunes, etc. Many times the live performance of other artists is much different than the actual music folks purchase, which in many cases is a disappointment for them.

Though the stage does not have the presence of an actual band, it is full of the instruments that he plays. He plays the lead guitar in 90% of the song list for that performance, and then he actually has a stage piano that he brings along with him to the stage for some awesome piano numbers that he performs. There are several other guitars he puts into his performance, such as a double neck guitar that is difficult to play, but performs the song Dueling Banjoes, but in his case, Dueling Guitars, and the audience loves that. So though he would be considered a solo act, he sets the bar pretty high as a multi musical talent in many areas.

From the moment he steps his big ole boot on stage with his sultry voice till the closing number "American Trilogy" when he gives tribute to our veterans, he will keep your audience at their full attention wanting only one more thing......an encore!!
