"WHO the HELL is CHASE SIMMS?"

Most of Chase's adult life has been spent in the music field. From the seventies throughout the 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 aired throughout the world.



The next decade Chase concentrated on re-inventing and discovering the music within his own soul. While teaching himself to play guitar, piano and harmonica, Chase was also busy writing songs, and establishing himself as a solo artist, songwriter and musician.



OUT of this artistic fervor has come an eclectic selection of song, and Chase's creative energy continues un-abated to this day. It is a collection of 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 "it all goes by so fast". Be caressed by the love-inspired melodies of "BEGINNINGS", "SO CLOSE TO FALLING", and the 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, on it goes..........



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.
