Mark Chesnutt is one of the rare classic country music artists around. Born September 6, 1963, in Beaumont, Texas, Mark's music career began with his father, Bob Chesnutt, who was also a country music singer. Bob Chesnutt took his son along on recording trips to Nashville. Eventually, Mark captured the attention of the folks on Music Row, who traveled to Texas to experience first hand one of Mark's performances. They were impressed, and he was signed to MCA Nashville.

His first single "Too Cold at Home" won him the CMA Horizon Award. Chesnutt's fan base grew, making him one of Billboard's top ten most-played radio artists of the 1990's. The 90's brought him more smash hits, like the fun "Bubba Shot the Jukebox", and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", which topped the charts for four straight weeks.

He's been touring since the 90's, and spends a lot of time on the road to play at concerts and honky tonks, where he's most comfortable. In 1992, Mark married his wife, Tracie, and they have three sons: Waylon, Casey, and Cameron. Later hits include "The Lord Loves The Drinkin' Man". Music critic Robert Oermann has dubbed Chesnutt as the hillbilly messiah, and states he'll feel the same way decades later.
