Most of Chase's life has been spent in the music field. From the seventies throughout the early nineties, Chase could be found working with contemporary gospel artists, providing back up vocals and harmonies, as well as powerful solo performances of his own. His renditions of old time gospel favorites, as well as contemporary Christian tunes, could be regularly heard on Christian/Gospel radio and television programs. Then followed a period where Chase concentrated on re-inventing himself, discovering the music that was locked within his soul. The next decade was spent writing songs that came from within and moved his soul. As he taught himself to play the guitar, piano and harmonica Chase was equally busy establishing himself as a solo artist, as well as a songwriter and musician.

OUT of all this artistic fervor has come an eclectic selection of song, and his creative energy continues un-abated. It is a collection of all original work, ranging from the “nostalgic” “COWBOYS and INDIANS”, a catchy tune you’ll find yourself humming throughout the day about days gone by, to the hauntingly deep reaching and thought provoking lyrics of “OBCS”(it all goes by so fast), tempered by the love-inspired melodies of “BEGINNINGS”, “SO CLOSE TO FALLING”, "AN AMERICAN BEAUTY-ROSE" and the powerful yet beautiful strains of “WOMAN”. Then Chase reminds all of us what is ours to cherish and preserve with the likes of "EARTH'S SONG", "HOME",and the recent oil spill crisis inspired song, "SOMETHING'S LURKING". Chances are you’ll find yourself drawn in by the combination of Chase’s dynamic voice and unique playing style. As always, he is his own. So, here we go………………………………................................

Chase has been described as a "true balladeer". His unique voice, coupled with his uninhibited emotional veracity, creates an ebb and flow, subtlely, as the still waters of a lazy lake gently tug its boundaries on a quiet summer’s day, to the loudest of cries rung forth as a voice thrown out over vast canyons, its’ powerful and seemingly endless reverberant strains remaining on the ear.
