Today, New England-born, Nashville-based singer songwriter Rye LaChance shares her version of Father’s Day on new single “My Father and Me” out now via Arista Records. With potent vocals and emotional honesty, LaChance reflects upon the not always harmonious relationship with her father through the lens of acceptance and self-love she’s grown to learn.
Starting off on the somber side, Rye works toward the eventual embrace of the role her father played in her identity, a journey she hopes will make those who might relate feel less lonely. She explains, “‘My Father and Me’ is a song that follows my rocky relationship with my father over the course of several years. Writing it was a way for me to come to terms with my pain and turn it into something meaningful that I could carry as I healed those parts of me.”
Years of emotion pour through Rye LaChance’s vocals as she reconciles her complicated relationship with her father, from being “sixteen and your enemy is the man who lives in your home” to wanting to “cherish the days where I look at myself and I see my Father in me.”

Penning hundreds of songs since she was only six years old, Rye LaChance writes with the prowess of a veteran songwriter, working to make the world a less lonely place. “My Father and Me” is no exception pairing the same reflective storytelling and poignant delivery that landed her debut track “Widows of Normandy” an inclusion on Spotify’s Best Songs of 2024.
