Mike Chase is a San Francisco born singer/songwriter. A deep and widely varied passion for music and a love for the turn of a phrase, gives a unique perspective to his artistry. Performing on piano and guitar , Mike guarantees a sometimes soul-full, sometimes histrionic but always unforgettable experience. In and out of bands for decades with various local and world-renowned musicians, both living and dead- but never one to drop names- Mike remains unknown but to a very select few (several of which are not his family). Spectacularly overlooked as a solo performer, Mike has managed to gain little or no notoriety whatsoever. Having experienced the light and darkness of the urban Generation Xs quest for purpose, Mike?s songs range from comic to tragic, but always retain the questions, challenges, outrages and hilarity of a soul in search of the truth- or at least a little attention. Still a Bay Area resident, he performs at various venues wherever a piano- that is reasonably in tune- can be found...or not.
