About the Artist
After hearing Sam Chase perform, you will quickly understand why he is considered one of the best, undiscovered talents in the industry.
A graduate of Berklee College of Music with a degree in Music Production and Engineering, Chase has been creating quite a buzz with his self-produced debut album ‘Songs For Someone’ released in June 2009.
The album itself explores a few different genres displaying Chase’s wide-range of influences, from the James Taylor-like “Shine” to the Alt. Country “Nebraska” to the Tom Petty-like “Sharpless Jones”.
While artists such as James Taylor, Jason Mraz and John Mayer all come to mind after hearing Chase, he writes and sings songs with a voice that is entirely his own—both soothing and effortless.
Sam has also been awarded “Best New Songwriter” at the ’10 CT Folk Festival in addition to being a Finalist at the ’09 Solfarest Songwriting Competition.
