Peeing Beside Mat Kearney


Me and my beautiful girlfriend and Chasen and his wife went to go see Mat Kearney and Jon Mclaughlin last night at Wild Wings. It was soo cool because you got to eat, sit down. and watch 2 guys play there music acoustic. Jon Mclaughlin was up first. He is REALLY good at piano but after a while I was kinda of wondering off in my mind because every song started to sound the same (probably because I don't play piano) and waiting on Mat Kearney. After Jon Mclaughlin was done I headed toward the bathroom and who did I pee beside??? No other that Mat Kearney. I know I'm probably sounding like a girl right now because all musicians put there pants on the same way we do. But there aren't many girls that have the chance to pee beside Mat Kearney. He looked over at me at the urinal and said "Hey man whats going on." Obviously he could see what was "going on." He was a Super nice guy and I walked out of the bathroom and told everyone about my milestone I just had in my life. Mat Kearney was great live and his songs are so simple but yet they take you on an adventure when he starts to sing. So if you ever get the chance of seeing Mat Kearney....... do it! And try to pee beside him too!

Chasen Update


Well well alot has happened for Chasen in the past week and a half. We just found out yesterday that we got a endorsement with Elixir Strings! We are stoked about that because those things can get expensive on the road stopping at music stores. We are currently look for a bassist to go on the road with us and hopefully we will have one for sure by next week. We are currently still booking shows and if you haven't noticed yet we are playing with needtobreathe at the handlebar September 22. You do NOT want to miss this show! We will have some special guest out in the audience that are interested in us for a certain ordeal. I can't say anything at this moment about it. So you want to be there because we will be going ALL out for this show! Our single "Crazy Beautiful" is being picked up radio stations across the nation! WOOHOO! I'm psyched. One Music Director for a station in Maryland said it was refreshing and “there’s NOTHING on the air right now that sounds like this!” So we are excited to be hitting the road and meeting new people and the friends we have made till this point!! We will keep you up to date with Chasen because we like to think that you guys get just as excited as we do...because you guys make our success!!! Thank you!!

Rock on,
Evan

Back Again!!!!


Well I'm back! Now that I am about to hit the road I'm gonna start blogging again to keep my family and friends up to date with what I'm doing! Our drummer is on vacation this week to the beach so I'm just kicking back this week. As all of you know by now wil has left Chasen. WE ARE ALL ON GOOD TERMS! Just wanted to make that clear! Wil is the worship leader at Marathon North and he felt like God wanted him to stay at Marathon North. We hate not having him on the road but it takes alot of guts to give up what he gave up and do what God wanted him to do. Wow that last line sounded like he hates leading worship?? haha you know what I mean. I'm sitting here watching the British Open (golf) and that is a tough course...I just hope Tiger Woods doesn't win. The PGA acts like he is God! I mean he is good but he is the most arrogant and most fined player on the tour because of his language. Anyways yesterday I won tickets to see Jon Mclaughlin and Mat Kearney at Wild Wing in downtown Greenville. How weird is it that these well known musicians are playing Wild Wings??? I was stoked! Well I'm going to wrap this up. If you haven't gotten Rocket Summer's new album go get it!! It's really good, but if you don't like pop then you wouldn't like it!!! Check out my next blog because I'll be jabbering about some new Chasen news!

Rock on,
