ABOUT
Prince Edward Island may be known for its red sandy beaches and Lucy Maud Montgomery's compelling tales of Anne of Green Gables, but it has also been holding onto one of country music's best-kept secrets and rising exports.
At 26, Ben Chase has just begun leaving his mark on the scene. Featured on some of Spotify and Apple Music's most prominent playlists, Ben has already surpassed 5 million global streams, topped the Canadian iTunes charts with #1 songs twice, delivered multiple top 100 songs to Canadian country radio, and been the recipient of several industry awards and nominations with the success from his debut album “That was Then, This is Now.”
On stage, his energy has brought him to The Calgary Stampede, The Cavendish Beach Music Festival, Big Valley Jamboree, and Country Thunder Alberta, where he’s been a direct opener for Dan and Shay, Sam Hunt, Dustin Lynch, Zach Bryan, Zac Brown, Clay Walker, Sawyer Brown, and recently direct support on tour with Brett Kissel across Canada.
Following a win for Fans’ Choice at the 2020 Country Music Alberta Awards, Ben made the full time move to Nashville to tread new industry ground, while still making music that is relatable to his lifestyle and small-town roots.
Now fully immersed in Music City as a consummate live entertainer, Ben’s high-energy shows and emphasis on crowd engagement have made him welcome in Nashville where he’s made musical stops at The Listening Room, Whiskey Jam, and The Bluebird Café among others.
With his debut album – “That was Then, This is Now” – that just dropped on September 29, 2023, Ben is poised to put his stamp on Nashville’s country music scene with his Canadian blend of raw talent, authentic songwriting, and passion for performance leading the way.
