Proceeds from the CD Benefit the Red Cross, Southeast Mississippi Chapter
Hurricane Katrina
August 29, 2005
There was an eerie calm after the storm and as I looked around the neighborhood that I had known all my life, I realized that hurricane Katrina had erased it... our home, our neighborhood, our town. The history told by the antebellum homes, small towns, and businesses for over 100 miles was gone but not the spirit of the people. That is what inspired me to make this CD and donate the proceeds to the Southeast Mississippi Chapter of the American Red Cross. - Chet Lott
CHET LOTT
Singer - Songwriter - Recording Artist
His Past…
At the moment Chet Lott picked up his first guitar as a child in Mississippi, playing music became a monumental part of his life. Growing up in an area with such a rich musical heritage, it’s no surprise that he would aspire to sing and write the music he loved. It was just something that came natural; an expression of who he was and where he was from. By the time he got to college he was performing all across his native Mississippi, as well as parts of Tennessee and even as far north as Washington, DC.
His Present…
Chet Lott has achieved a wide range of experience in the music industry. From live performances to studio sessions; he has done it all. He’s shared the stage with many well known entertainers including Rickie Lee Jones, Taj Mahal, Larry Gatlin, John Michael Montgomery, Guy Hovis, Troy Gentry, The Oak Ridge Boys and Exile. His studio work includes his recently released independent debut album, “Erased It”, produced by his mentor and award winning singer/songwriter JP Pennington.
His Music…
Chet Lott has created a unique musical style all his own with his blues infused Mississippi style country. It’s fresh and edgy, emotional and pure. It’s honest and inviting. It’s country with the salty flavor of the delta blues. His CD includes songs that celebrate his Mississippi heritage with titles such as "Welcome to Mississippi", "Nachez Girl", "Where Am I From", and a soulfully breezy cover of Van Morrison's "Tupelo Honey". Chet Lott’s signature style has captured the interest of listeners nationally, as well as internationally. His music is featured daily on syndicated radio statewide in Mississippi and can also be heard on numerous other stations in the U.S., France and Poland. His original song “Where Am I From” is featured on a compilation CD with global distribution to over 1500 radio stations throughout North America, Europe and New Zealand.
His Future…
Chet Lott will continue to write, sing and record the music that is so much a part of him. And he will always share it with those who want to listen. Making music is second nature to him. It’s just what he does. It’s just what he is.

Thanks for adding me! I am a songwriter and the songs on my page are songs that I have written or co-written that I/we are shopping to country singers who are looking for fresh songs for their next CD.

I know. I wish we would have spent some more time together. I really enjoy being able to see the little ones, especially Trent, now that we can have some special conversations.
