Originally located in Arlington, TX, Chase moved to Abilene, TX in 2003 to study music composition and theory at Hardin-Simmons University. Having formally only worked under other efforts as a hired gun, it wasn't until then that he pursued his solo career in music.

Studying under Dr. Bernard Scherr, Chase polished his chops as a composer, creating works for a variety of ensembles ranging from chamber music, choir, percussion ensemble to full orchestra.

He studied classical guitar privately under Dan Mitchell for 3 years and voice with Dr. Kecia Ashford for 2 years, but has been seen performing a variety of things on stage including -- electric/acoustic guitar, keys, bass, percussion, harmonica, accordion, bells, and trombone.

His first commercial release of original music was the Black As My Coffee EP in 2005 featuring his songs and his first stab at studio orchestration.

In 2009, he and his wife, Kassie, moved to Austin, TX, where he is now a full time, working musician. Besides his solo efforts, he is a regular member of Nathan Hubble's band and a Motown cover band called MatchMaker Band.

In the fall of 2010, he was commissioned to score the short film, Take Two directed by Matthew Tibbenham. The score contained works for string quartet, mixed folk ensembles, and pop songs.

In the winter of 2011, he formed Canaries In The Coal Mine with fellow songwriter Jordan Whitmore. Their first project was a Christmas album called Scarf Weather, which contained originals and holiday favorites.

Bringing pop, blues, soul and acoustics together, singer/songwriter Nathan Hubble captivates audiences with his refreshing and engaging voice coupled with his catchy melodies and great presence on the stage. Nathan creates music that gives these classic genres a fresh new sound.
Being an Austin, TX based artist gives Hubble the ability to draw talented musicians and producers with whom to collaborate and record. His latest project, Good Day, is just such a collaboration and is hitting the marketplace September 2nd of 2011. Believing that music should reflect life, Nathan's autobiographical lyrics capture life's roller coaster of the good, the bad and the crazy.

The sheer energy from their show will draw you in; the aura they create will keep you there. The Docs music is raw, exciting, passionate, and stirs a unique emotion inside you. Hailing from a diverse backround, The Docs fuse the soft, harmonious, familiar tones of vintage southern music, with the energy and aggressive sound progressive rock acts bring to the stage. The Docs formed when the southern rock/country duo of Jerod Justice (vocals/rhythm), and Jeff Dolman (lead guitar) merged with the progressive/punk duo Dalton Weis (drums), and Ryan Brownlow (bass). Together they form a fresh, cohesive four piece band that is constantly pushing the boundaries of modern day rock and roll.
