Saddle Bronc athlete turned neo-traditional country music sensation Chancey Williams will perform in concert on Friday, Aug. 18, as part of the 2023 Sanpete County Fair.

The concert will begin at 7 p.m. at the Sanpete County Fairgrounds Arena, 50 W. 500 North, Manti. Tickets are $35 for floor seating and $25 for grandstand seating and may be purchased online at sanpetecountyfair.net.

Chancey Williams has gone from competing on horseback to performing on center stage. As one of only two artists (the other being Chris LeDoux) to both compete in the rodeo and perform on the main stage at Cheyenne Frontier Days and the only singer/songwriter to be endorsed by CINCH, Williams is the next authentic cowboy of country music.

Having grown up on a ranch in the northeastern corner of Wyoming, Williams is one of the proud few hailing from Moorcroft, Wyoming – a town so small, it doesn’t need stoplights. Rodeo, wrestling and academic talents took him first to Casper College and then to the University of Wyoming. Chancey earned several degrees, including a master’s in public administration, but it’s music and the camaraderie of the road that continue to take him all over the United States.

Chancey was named iHeartRadio’s 2022 Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards Entertainer of the Year. Williams also won Songwriter of the Year for “The Saint” and Album of the Year for his most recent record produced with country hitmaker Trent Wilmonand titled “3rd Street.” Last year also brought multiple dates with Parker McCollum, the PBR Tour and an appearance at Cheyenne Frontier Days with Dierks Bentley.

Chancey returned to Las Vegas, performing on national television and opening the fifth round of the National Finals Rodeo. He also headlined the main showroom at South Point, “ground zero” at the most important rodeo event in the world.

Chancey’s 2023 tour includes a debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry, his first headlining appearance at Billy Bob’s Texas, and a robust summer tour in support of his new album “One of These Days.”
