Raised on a river farm, Chance and his five siblings knew all to well the hardships of growing up in a blue collar family as his Dad was a life-long stone mason and his Mom worked in a factory. The hardships were softened by a close family bond weaved together with humor, wit, and music. The end result for Chance was songwriting laced with hardship, heartbreak, and humor about life growing up in rural america. Chance has already made some major strides in a time when music industry execs look for acts that are safe and recycled instead of edgy and refreshing. Things have moved quickly for Chance as he has had the opportunity to share the stage with Texas/Red Dirt big guns Chris Knight, Cory Morrow, Brandon Jenkins, Wayne Hancock, Back Porch Mary, Lucky Tubb, Jason Eady and John D Hale. As far as the future is concerned Chance is determined to keep this train rolling as folks reach out for something real during hard economic times.
