CHASE THE SUN

Jan Rynsaardt, Ryan Van Gennip and Jon Howell formed Chase The Sun and recorded their critically acclaimed self-titled 2007 debut with the high ideal that they would be an acoustic blues trio.

Only problem was, they discovered shortly afterwards that they were too loud, too fast and pretty much way too rock n roll for anything as sedate as that.

But never fear; it's not that the blues has left Chase The Sun entirely; it's more that their other influences, Classic Rock and Hard Rock point-blank refused to leave the party. So, after two solid years on the road to somewhere, the band grew out of their blues roots and spread their branches up and out to the heights of rock and roll. Back for a second time at Peats Ridge, Chase The Sun crank out a new take on a classic sound.

Date performing: 29 December 2009
