Chase Gassaway is a lifelong musician and songwriter. While he primarily tours the country as a solo artist, he is often found sitting in with a variety of Austin-based bands. Whether on keys, guitars, ukulele, bass, or a bell kit, he feels most at home on stage making music with others. 

Gassaway studied music composition and theory in college, honing his skills as a composer by creating works for a wide range of ensembles from choirs to full orchestras, as well as composing the score to the short film "Take Two." He has also been trained in classical guitar and voice, and plays a variety of instruments from banjolele to reed organ. His training, along with the onstage lessons he has learned as an eclectic performer, has resulted in multi-textured pop songs that recall the Head & the Heart and Ben Folds. In a Chase Gassaway song, it is not unusual to hear strings, horns, woodwinds, and piano accompanying his engaging lyrics and slightly husky vocals.
