San Francisco-based folk rock 'n roll. Stories, strings, and a voice like wrought iron...The Sam Chase Trio blends epic arrangements with hard-living poetry and a dash of rock and roll spirit. Sam is a natural storyteller, treating crowds to evenings of soul-baring ballads. Devon McClive and Chandra Johnson simultaneously create an enchanting atmosphere and astound with their passionate musicianship.

“I love Sam Chase. He’s got mischievous eyes and a booming voice. He’s a clever songsmith and a dazzling performer. He was born in the punk scene and raised on the back of Merle Haggard and John Prine and was given dollops of Woody Guthrie in his oatmeal. He’s sensitive and gruff at the same time in equal doses. I call him sensigruff. His voice is so powerful he could’ve cut through the noise on the floor of The New York Stock Exchange in the height of the 80s. Everyone would’ve just shut their pie-holes and listened to what the man had to say. Sam Chase is an American original and a welcome card carrying member of the united family of songwriting troubadours. God bless you Sam Chase.”
