Chase Stevens is an award winning singer/songwriter from Mississauga, Ontario. Recognized for his heartfelt lyrics and visual imagery, Chase says his songwriting style is a blend of New Country and Singer/Songwriter, or as he likes to call it “Troubadour Country”.
His initial musical inspirations came from the songwriters of the 1970’s, people such as Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, and Cat Stevens among others before he moved toward the Country genre after hearing the music of Keith Urban. A subsequent trip to Nashville to explore the songwriting scene, cemented his musical direction.
Chase continues to record his music in Nashville and Toronto. He says, "I have been recording with the same group of session players in Nashville for over 10 years. Not only are they incredible players but their intuition to capture what I am going for is amazing. And I have a wonderful studio close to home where I do my guitar and vocals".
I've got two of his latest releases - "Songs In An Old Diner" & "Holes In The Night" - to play on the show as I welcome Chase to the podcast to chat about his music career & his thoughts on songwriting.
