Hailing from the heart of Virginia, 49 Winchester is known for their distinctive blend of country, rock, and folk influences, garnering a dedicated following through their heartfelt lyrics and engaging live performances; contributing to their community is deeply important as they recognize the power of music to unite and uplift. By supporting local causes and participating in benefit events, the band aims to make a positive impact on the lives of those around them, reflecting the commitment to the very roots and values that inspire their music. Their efforts not only strengthen community ties but also resonate with fans who share a passion for fostering positive change.

Chase Chafin, bassist and founding member says, “49 Winchester is very proud to be from this region and looking after each other is a huge part of the ethos of Appalachia. We are very grateful for the support of our audience and all the folks back at home who have cheered us on for years. When something tragic happens, it affects all of us. We are doing this show at the end of the touring season in hopes of raising funds in support of the recovery efforts for our neighbors.”
