CHASE GASSAWAY

Chase is the greatest thing that's ever happened to music (or vice versa). He is a composer currently under Dr. Bernard Scherr at Hardin-Simmons University and is studying guitar performance with Dan Mitchell at Abilene Christian University. By day, he stays up to his neck in music school and rehearsals; by night, he performs around town doing acoustic sets and writing poetry. He makes a living by charming customers at the Red Robin, arranging orchestra pieces for recordings, doing studio sessions, and performing. More than anything, he enjoys enlightening conversation (especially with his charming girlfriend, Kassie) and writing music. He plans to change the world and postulate honor at the sound of his name.
