Chase McDowell
plays various instruments...
Mandolin, Fiddle and lead guitar
It's been said "don't put your instrument
down or you just might lose your position"
It's safe to say whether it has strings or not,
Chase can play it. Singer
and songwriter,
providing lead & vocal backup. Chase has
been professionally involved in music for
over 25 yrs. Playing all started in April of 1996
at nine years of age when one day
while setting
up for a performance,
Chase seeing the case
just laying in the cargo bay as no one ever
unloaded the mandolin or played it, looks up
at his mother, and
confidently says
"I can play the
mandolin, mama"
and so
he did, that very night ( unplugged ! )
A couple of years later, after
a concert in
Ohio, a nice gentleman opens up a fiddle case
and gives him an old fiddle and, well the rest is
history... By the way, he still plays that same
fiddle today on stage and is
one of the best
fiddle players in the South.
Born in
Fort Wayne, Indiana, at one year old the
family moved to
Florida where Chase spent the
next 25 years. Chase and his wife Aubree, reside
in the border hills of the Carolina's with their
two girls Madelyn Nicole
& McKenzie
Noelle.
Born in 1987 and 37 years old,
the family still calls Chase ...
the Baby Boy !
Chase
... diverse & full of talent !
