Soulful. Poignant. Vulnerable yet powerful. When Appalachian country crooner Adam Chaffins sings, his voice reels you in and then collectively embraces his audience with ease. His sound is beguiling, reaching into the rich Kentucky corners of Chaffins’ expressive baritone, delivered with refinement and ease. His music defies boundaries – from his mountains back home to the paved canyons of the cities that are now home, the sound crosses genres; the lure crosses humanity. 

Adam Chaffins, an independent singer/songwriter who is a product of culturally rich eastern Kentucky, has always been about music. He started early in middle school, fronting and playing bass in a band, and followed with scholarship opportunities resulting in a music degree. After a move to Tennessee, he began his Nashville career as an in-demand session musician, alternating that with a life on the road as a member of various bands, including several years with the revolutionary bluegrass band Town Mountain. He has roots buried deep in country music soil, but what the world hears today is Chaffins’ new lane of music, a reflection of him – past and present – weaving together his personal and musical experiences to create a sound and mood that is distinctly unique while being comfortably familiar. The first taste of that will come with his first solo release since 2020, “Little Bit At A Time,” produced with Frank Rogers (Brad Paisley, Scotty McCreery, Darius Rucker)

His 2020 debut album, “Some Things Won’t Last”, features a range from fuzz-toned, drum-driven rockers to ballads laced with symphonic swells. It lays bare the many layers of Adam and his music. Also that year, Chaffins shared singles “Further Away” (Acoustic) and “Now I Don’t Know,” both featured on places such as Spotify’s Indigo playlist. In 2022, Chaffins wrote and performed on streaming smash “Gone As It Gets” with Brit Taylor, Meg McRee and Ben Chapman, which currently sits at over 2.6 million streams on Spotify.

Using his uncanny ability to tap into human emotion, Chaffins transforms the dichotomy of his musical experiences into a melodic, moody mix that highlights his assertive, rich baritone and his command over a band’s energy.
