When people go out so see a band in one of the many venues in the area they are looking predominantly for one thing. They want to have a good time. I believe this is lost on many of the other groups these day’s. Maybe I am wrong but this isn't about the guys in the band. It is about the people in the crowd. Will they have fun? If they have fun then everybody wins. Chaser works every day toward that goal. What songs can we do to increase the fun factor? Chaser started about 10 years ago with just three members. JOHN, and KELLY are still remaining. John is a drummer and has been playing professionally in the area for the last 25 years. Kelly is the guitar player and has also been playing in the area for about 20 years. About 7 years ago Chaser was looking to expand. They wanted to add another member to give a fatter sound and more variety to the music. Along came SCOTT. He also has been playing professionally in the five state area for about 25 years. His Prior bands include Wildfire and Strodes Creek. I guess the time was just right because he brought in keyboards, saxophone, fiddle, mandolin, and guitar to the mix and gave the music the spice it needed. The core sound was defiantly there. He added the variety of sound we needed to take it to the next level. In 2007 Chaser changed Bass Players and found RICKIEY ROC. He has got the long hair and he has a variety of guitars both branded and custom. He loves to dance around stage and interact with the crowd. He is upbeat and a Total Ham!! What's not to love about this guy. Those of us that have seen him in action know that Rickiey Rocks. His prior bands include Crow, The Prior Brothers, Devada, Tyme Bandits, Bugsy and Under the covers. He is a 35 year veteran of Minneapolis music. He has toured with CROW and is one of the most accomplished bass players and singers in Minnesota. All of this combined with the production crew of Mike Stice and SCOTT S.
In 2009 Chaser added the piece of the puzzle that completed the picture. Jen is the lead singer of the band and has one of the greatest voices I have heard. Her personality is welcoming and makes everyone feel like her friend. Chaser is now complete. The music in the band has changed from a full variety band to a contemporary Pop and County band. Great Songs, Great Players, Great singer, and Great fun. Come out and have a Great Time with Chaser.
