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 that if it has strings- Chase
   can play it.  Singer and songwriter providing
   lead & backup vocals. Chase has been involved
   in music since he
was nine years old.  It all 
   started
one day in April, 1996, when  in Indiana,
   the family was
unloading the cargo bay for a
   concert,  Chase seeing the mandolin just laying
   there each time
, no one ever unloading it or
   playing it, looks up at his
mother, and says

           "I can play the mandolin, mama"
             and so he did, that very night !
                  
                      A couple of years later, 
             after a concert in Ohio,
someone
      gave him an old fiddle and, well the rest 
    
is history.   By the way, he still plays that
    same fiddle on stage today.  Born in
Fort
   Wayne, Indiana,
moved to Florida with the
     family  in 1987.  The youngest boy in the
      group,  a tender age of  22.   He Married 
          Aubree in 2008, a daughter Madelyn
          was born 1/31/ 09, and  is expecting
             another baby this December,  yet   
                   the family  still calls him ...
                              the Baby Boy !
