Cuffing Season

Born Chandler Monroe, Cuffing Season grew up in the challenging environment of the Mississippi Delta. Despite early hardships, including poverty and family struggles, he found solace in music, beginning with gospel and later exploring hip hop, pop, and soul. His resilience as an artist has led him to craft an evolving sound that pays homage to his Delta roots while reaching a global audience. Inspired by artists like Black Pumas and Earth Wind & Fire, Monroe’s music captures the spirit of the blues while embracing the versatility of modern genres. 

Cuffing Season is excited to host his first major show in Atlanta, a city that has helped cultivate his career as an artist. From his early band days, to working with local producers and studios, Atlanta is his second home. Cuffing Season is excited to share his music and brand new life-changing updates with fans at this Vinyl showcase.
