HISTORY  /  BIO

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. He's the youngest boy in
     the group at a young age of  24.  Married
         to Aubree they have two daughters,
           Madelyn Nicole born in Jan of 2009,
              and McKenzie Noelle born in Dec
                of 2010, and yet the family still
                              calls Chase ...
                              the Baby Boy !

                            
           
                                                                  
 

         Chase ... diverse & full of talent !
