<p>On a front porch bolstered by cinder blocks and hope, North Carolina native <strong><a title="Chase Rice" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/tour-dates-chase-rice/">Chase Rice</a></strong> gingerly demonstrated what a D-chord looks like to 8-year-old Nicholas Thompson. With crimped, tiny fingers and intense concentration, Thompson stared up at his musical mentor and smiled.</p>
<p>The interaction and the moment of discovery demonstrates the power of music to change lives; a theme which is woven throughout <a href="https://ebmediapr.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8c2b6ee37a9e18082133cda47&;id=e17d8d9acd&;e=cf1e7f8964">Rice’s latest music video for “Three Chords &; The Truth.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>“This is the greatest day of my life,” exclaimed Thompson. And you believe it.</p>
<p>Rice’s own music journey started with a $150 guitar, a family gift. “That cheap $150 guitar changed my life,” he shares. “There are people who love music and can’t afford a guitar. Music is everything for me. I can’t think of a better gift to give to someone else.”</p>
<p>The music video, which was directed by Brian Lazzaro, was shot around Rice’s current coast-to-coast <em>Lambs and Lions Tour</em>, with footage from the road, on the bus, and on stage. “Three Chords &; The Truth” captures the power of following a dream to Nashville and name-checks legends including Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, Merle Haggard, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.</p>
<p>“I thought, we could do the same old crap that everybody’s doing, that I’ve done before, with this music video or we could do something bigger and more special and hopefully change a kid’s life and his family’s life, and that’s the route I wanted to go,” explains Rice of his decision to stray from the expected formula for the “Three Chords &; The Truth” music video.</p>
<p>The accompanying narrative explains how access to music can make a difference and follows Rice’s search for a fan to receive a prized guitar, a step up from the one that fueled his musical talent. Rice first met Thompson at a backstage photo op. The boy is struggling to fight hemophilia with injections and frequent trips to see doctors. He finds comfort in a pair of mint green headphones and a country music playlist that includes Rice.</p>
<p>Rice has been one of country music’s most exciting figures since arriving in Nashville. He co-wrote <a title="Florida Georgia Line" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/florida-georgia-line-tour-tickets/">Florida Georgia Line</a>’s megahit Diamond certified “Cruise” and his 2014 major label debut album, <em>Ignite the Night</em>, opened at No. 1 and yielded two Top 5 hits with “Ready Set Roll” and “Gonna Wanna Tonight,” in addition to more than 900,000 in album sales.</p>
<p>The 32-year-old singer/songwriter has had an eclectic life for inspiration, playing football at the University of North Carolina, serving as a NASCAR pit crew member, even a role on a season of “Survivor,” all before finding success as a singer/songwriter/entertainer. His unrivaled live show has led to numerous sold out tours, a slot performing on <a title="Kenny Chesney" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSChesney/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fkenny-chesney-tickets%2F">Kenny Chesney</a>’s stadium tour stops in 2015, and to <em>ESPN’s</em> Marty Smith noting in that sense, “Rice is an anomaly.”</p>
<p>Rice may be a departure from the norm, but he isn’t alone in his quest to provide instruments to deserving children. The closing slate of the music video for “Three Chords &; The Truth” is an invitation to find out more about music education programs at CMAfoundation.org, which is the charitable giving arm of the Country Music Association.</p>
