About 49 Winchester:
49 Winchester has steadily built a reputation as one of the most compelling acts in modern country music, rising from their humble beginnings in Castlewood, Virginia, to selling out venues and earning a devoted international following. Formed by childhood friends Isaac Gibson and Chase Chafin, the band has spent years honing a sound rooted in Appalachian storytelling, blending country, rock, and folk influences into something distinctly their own. That relentless work ethic and commitment to authenticity has propelled them from front porch jam sessions to major stages around the world, marking them as a band whose breakthrough has been hard-earned and long overdue.Their latest album, Change of Plans, represents a defining moment in that journey. Recorded in just eight days with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, the record captures the band at a creative peak—seasoned, self-assured, and unafraid to push their sound further than ever before. Balancing grit with refinement, the album reflects both personal growth and artistic evolution, weaving together themes of change, maturity, and perseverance. From high-octane, genre-blurring tracks to deeply introspective songwriting, Change of Plans showcases a band stepping fully into its moment while staying true to the roots that got them there.“We started this thing from the smallest seed possible… and by staying true to that same mindset, it finally feels like now is our time to come up.” – Isaac Gibson
