Texas band Chaparelle harkens back to a golden era of country with modern lyrics. What started as a mind-meld between Zella Day and Jesse Woods in 2023 not only evolved into a match on its way towards matrimony, but also into a trio, originally working with Beau Bedford in a producer role before he became part of the band full time. And it’s the magic among the three that puts Chaparelle on-track to be in the same discussions as Paul Cauthen, Leon Bridges, and Orville Peck (all artists Beauford has done production for).
The melodies, storytelling, and twangy vocals of Day and Woods set the group solidly in the modern era of golden country, and that power was on full display this past SXSW both out at Luck Reunion and our own show at Scholz Garten.
Now the trio is set to release their debut album Western Pleasure on April 18th, and they’re embarking on a 39-date tour across the country in support. Austin is the second stop on the tour, playing Scoot Inn tomorrow night with Sydney Quiseng and Angel White.
