 Chase McDowell plays various instruments

             Mandolin, Fiddle and lead guitar
    It's been said  "don't put your instrument
    down or you just might loose 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 1996  while the family
  was
unloading the cargo bay for a concert.
   Chase, seeing the mandolin just
laying there
        
 each time, no one ever 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  21.   Although
          married this past April to Aubree and
                 expecting their first child on
                  Feb 11, 2009 ...
 the family 
                still calls him, the Baby Boy !
