Episode Description from the Publisher

What’s it really like being married to a country artist? Chase Fann joins Married to the Music to share a real, grounded look at building a relationship in the middle of the music industry. He talks about growing up near Nashville, becoming a lawyer, and meeting Madeline Merlo right before COVID, when their relationship had time to grow in a more intentional way. Chase also opens up about supporting a partner through touring, career highs and lows, and the constant balancing act between two very different worlds. They get into faith, communication, and what actually makes a relationship last, plus some fun moments with SEC football, Harry Potter, and the everyday things that keep them connected. It’s honest, relatable, and a true behind-the-scenes look at love beyond the spotlight.   Follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode.Married to the Music is where the spotlight fades and the real story begins.
