Johnny Chase

Posted in Live Entertainment, Musicians, Covers

Johnny Chase

Johnny Chase's solo debut, 801 Days, combines the drive of 90's rock with the emotional urgency of today's songwriters, delivering gritty and powerful vocals packed with passion. The collection of original tracks from this singer/songwriter/guitarist fills the musical bookends of love and loss that resonate with audiences coast-to-coast.

The visceral aspect of Chase's sound has attracted television and film companies, among them MTV, WB, and HBO. By Your Side, a rocking, high-energy number with a riff that grabs you from the beginning, and Breakdown, A triumphant song about never giving up hope, have both been used a total of 20+ times on the MTV hit show NEXT, while Fear to Fall, with its brooding vocals and thumping bass, has been included on HBO's Entourage Season 3 (Part 2) DVD, as well as used for the promo spots on HBO advertising the show and DVD. It has also been placed CW's CW Now and more recently on Tyra Banks Show,who continues to use his songs and Ellen GeGeneres. 801 Days spotlights 11 self-penned songs that are filled with first-hand feelings. The CD's title poignantly refers to the number of days Chase's young son lived. Originally written to facilitate his own healing after his son's death, Chase decided to record the songs for others to hear, hoping it would help listeners endure life's inevitable heartbreaks, large and small. The resulting CD is both introspective and exuberant, tracing the performer's journey through the mind-altering experience called life.

In addition to the songs heard on MTV, HBO, E, TBS, & CW, 801 Days includes I Can See Everything, a fan-favorite offering a supernatural sound that builds momentum with every guitar lick, and Breakdown, a melodic lesson in never giving up hope, which was the first song that had piqued the interest of MTV and is now also featured in the Indi film, "Fear Chamber". Son in the Sky, One More Day and On Top of the World all reflect on family and relationships and are dedicated to his son. Opened Up was recently added to the Warner Bros. TV library of songs to be used on their many shows. The CD ends lovingly with Heaven to Me, a passionate ballad written to Chase's wife.

Odds Lane

ODDSLANE is a uniquely blended mix of driving rock & roll riffs and solid grooves
with an overall pop sensibility. They create music that fuses diverse influences from a
wide range of styles, but maintains the integrity of what has become their own original
sound. The band primarily focuses on the material of singer/songwriter Doug Byrkit,
who in 2003 co-founded the group with longtime musical partner Brian Zielie.
Doug & Brian are continuing their musical partnership with their first album as
ODDSLANE the 2012 release entitled DARK MATTERS.

Doug and Brian's partnership goes back many years with their first band together while
still in high school. Since, they have maintained a close working relationship that has
lasted through college and a host of musical projects. Throughout their musical careers, they can
boast such accomplishments as sharing the stage with diverse artist such as Lifehouse, Pete Yorn,
and Walter Trout as well as having toured Korea, Japan, and the Pacific Rim. As the core members
of ODDSLANE, the pair has formed a creative relationship that blends their broad range of musical
influences, ranging from The Beatles and Led Zeppelin to Tower of Power and Miles Davis, with
their years of experience recording and touring. To the outside observer, it may seem that Brian
plays a small role in the creative process, but his influence on Doug over the years has been
the spearhead to the evolution of his songwriting.

ODDSLANE (originally under the name THE BREAKERS) was formed in 2003 out of the ashes of several other defunct St. Louis groups (Zito, Flynova, Nadine, and The LP Outsiders to name a few) to work on selected material from Doug's recent demo projects. Shortly, they began recording these songs and playing live to a steadily growing fan base. This first line up of the group quickly produced two EP's. The first of which, THE BOTTLENECK SESSIONS,
twice earned them attention from the Memphis Regional Grammy Chapter along with some high profile national and international songwriting contests. It also caught the ear
of those at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Sun Studio, most widely known as the studio that gave birth to Elvis, has been recording legends for years.
Along with Elvis, the likes of BB King, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and more recently U2, Vertical Horizon, Maroon 5, Liz Phair, 3 Doors Down, The Calling, and
Better Than Ezra have all recorded at there. ODDSLANE joined these ranks by invitation on the studio's part as an effort of there's to promote emerging artist. Both of these
recordings were later combined into what became the release simply entitled SESSIONS.

The follow-up recording, SONGS FOR YOUNG EXECUTIVES, is the group's first full-length album.The album contains 13 tracks loosely based around the theme of corporate greed; a subject Doug had became all too familiar with while working in Corporate America before recently leaving to complete a graduate music degree and to devote more time to music and ODDSLANE. The lyrical content gives a sometimes tongue-in-cheek and sometimes blatantly unapologetic slant on those negotiating the corporate jungle. Even though there are some heavy themes that run throughout, most of the
songs are ambiguous enough to be interpreted multiple ways by the listener, thus making the album very easy for a broad range of fans to connect with. The album is a mix of musical influences and real world playing experience, which along with the solid groove foundation provided by drummer Brian Zielie, merge into what can only be described as a true representation of ODDSLANE's own unique rock & roll sound.The album's single "Miles Away" has been featured
on the hit television series THE DEADLIEST CATCH on THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL, and continues to garner attention across the web and other media. The album and single have also gained industry attention, earning a publishing deal from Grammy nominated producer George McClure's Nashville publishing house as well as several independent
film score and web placements.
