|
Ohioan Chase Jedick has been a music lover all of his life. His favorite musicians include the Beatles, Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Harry Chapin. Drawing on his love for music, experiences in life, and drive to create, Chase has developed a refreshingly varied and enjoyable style that might be described as Pop/Rock, Alternative, and/or Folk Rock. Though Chase has recently started calling his style "Roll Music," in the same way that others have shortened "Rock & Roll" to "Rock."
After his parents bought him his first guitar in 5th grade, Chase discovered his true love in songwriting and performing for family and friends. Finding inspiration in personal relationships and the world around him, Chase began writing a collection of songs that currently contains over 200 original compositions. Several of these tunes have made it onto Chase's three albums--"Winter Air" (2001), "sharp quarters" (2002), and "The Bitter and the Unbelievable" (2004).
In October of 2004, Chase completed his 3rd album and his most defining work, “The Bitter and the Unbelievable.” Showing Chase's very eclectic style, "The Bitter and the Unbelievable" is an all-acoustic work of poetry and musicianship. Some of the tunes are mellow. Some of the tunes are upbeat. Some are weird. Others are deep. Some are long stories about outlaws. Others are sad songs about being away from the person you love.
Now, Mr. Jedick is back to writing (in the midst of struggling through several engineering classes). His new songs, boasting rejuvenating melodies & catchy riffs and demonstrating an original, mature songwriting style, show an altogether new face to Chase’s talent. These tunes are currently being sold, at a friend’s request, as demos on Chase’s “Break of Day Demos (EP)” at http://www.cafepress.com/jedickbreak. The demos EP itself has been rated as one of an antimusic.com reviewer’s top five albums of 2005! Stop by Chase’s website and download some free tunes, or give a copy of one of his albums a spin; if you’re into good music, you won’t be disappointed.
“In an era when lyricism, musicianship, and innovation are cast aside for mainstream pop-rock and pop-punk, many music aficionados have turned to artists of the past for their musical solace. The current music scene is reminiscent of the late 1970s, when Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers helped carry rock n' roll through a period of over-produced arena bands and disco clubs. In a similar manner, Chase Jedick has a vision beyond the current scene.”
