About

Chase is a violinist/fiddler, and touring artist with The Riverside, a folk band from California. He finds joy in making others feel what he plays through carefully crafted tone and the natural expression of his emotions through the violin. He has played the violin for over 20 years and plays a wide range of styles. He enjoys making arrangements from pop, classical, country, folk, movie soundtracks, and Celtic music for any event. He can play by ear, either learning parts played by other musicians or improvising. He can also read sheet music. He enjoys recording and happily arranges string parts to push the story of any song. He teaches others the beauty he finds in his instrument and seeks to inspire others to play and improve in their own musical journeys. Chase is currently based in Santa Barbara, CA.
