Influences
Old school country....
From the start, the band has been about returning to the heyday of Nashville; their debut album reflects that goal well, as there are plenty of songs about heartache, women and drinkin'. Anyone who's ever heard a Merle Haggard or George Jones country ballad can instantly imagine what a song called "I'd Do It Right This Time" sounds like, even if they've never heard it - and the Chasers flesh that out perfectly, from the opening, lazy strings to the song's booming chorus.
Will Brooks - Flagpole Magazine Review
The Chasers perform original country music ranging from up-beat bar room swingers to heart-ripped-out ballads mixed with a few deep cuts from the original outlaws of country music.
The Chasers Are:
Drums/Vocals- Jeff Simpson(The Vinci)
Bass- David Gilliard
Guitar- Marcus Thompson (Lona)
Pedal Steel- John Neff. (Japancakes, Barbara Cue, The Star Room Boys and
The Drive By Truckers)
Vocals/Guitar- Clay Leverett (Drip, The Lures, Azure Ray, Now Its Overhead, and Lona)
