Chase McBride is an American songwriter and visual artist based in San Francisco, CA Born in Montana, McBride moved to California after graduating high school to pursue music.[1] His style has been described as "jangly hook-laden folk pop".[1] He has released 4 solo albums, receiving wide recognition for both his music and visual arts.[2]

Career

In 2008, McBride left his hometown of Billings, Montana for San Luis Obispo, California, where he recorded his debut album of original music, titled From the Mountains to the Sea.[1] The album was followed by extensive touring and led to the production of a music video for the single "1937". This initial effort was met with positive reviews[3] and won McBride an award for "Best Solo Artist" from the popular California publication New Times.[4]

In 2010, McBride relocated to Ventura, California to work on material for a follow up to his first album with surf-rock producer Todd Hannigan. After a year of studio work, he released two albums, a full-length record titled The Good Fight and a five-song album titled Wild Child.[5][6] McBride followed the releases with a tour of the western United States which garnered a considerable following.

After relocating to Missoula, Montana in 2011, McBride began producing recordings for other artists,[7] as well as working on new material for his own album Every Road I Take, which was independently released in 2013. The album was written, engineered, produced, and mixed by McBride himself in an old wooden cabin just outside Missoula.

McBride currently lives in San Francisco, CA., where he works as a designer and is working on a new full-length album to be released spring 2016.
