Chase released his independent debut album Dirt Road Communion
in March 2012, peaking at #6 on the Country iTunes chart and punching
through at #48 on the Billboard Top Country Album Chart. The album
features strong rooted contemporary country songs that invoke a good
times spirit like the lead single “How She Rolls,” alongside “Pop a Top”
and “Whoa,” but you’ll also find personal and insightful examinations
of his darker side on “Jack Daniel’s & Jesus” and “Room 205.” Chase
moved to Music City shortly after coming in runner-up on the hit TV
series CBS Survivor: Nicaragua. Before his bold move to
Nashville, Chase was a star on the University of North Carolina – Chapel
Hill football team. He’d trade in his Carolina blue to suit up for
Hendrick Motorsports after college where he served on the pit crew for
Ryan Newman and Jimmie Johnson. Since the move, this North Carolina
reared performer has been running at full throttle developing a grass
roots connection to his ever expanding fan base. This CAA booked artist
has hit stages throughout 2012 with Willie Nelson, Jake Owen, Kellie
Pickler, Kip Moore and Joe Nichols with a fall line-up of dates
including bills with Love & Theft and Phil Vassar.
