THE SAM CHASE TRIO, also known as “The God Particle Of Music,” by all who have hypothesized of his existence before his discovery 10 years ago, eminent singer-songwriter The Sam Chase strides out of the hadron collider flanked on one side by Chandra Johnson, violin heroine, and on the other by Devon McClive, renowned and feared cellist at large.   Their songs matter to the masses in the same way that the Higgs boson gives mass to all matter.  Their music is the Big Bang to a universe of sound.

Some say that their music has the potential to destroy the universe, but it is a risk that we should be willing to take. This is what you get when deftly bowed strings collide with ironclad songwriting. This is the pure distillation of adventure and heartache of American song.
