Chase McGowan pulled up to the bar in his old, blue Ford pickup truck. He was playing solo at the Whitehorse Saloon. It was early Friday afternoon and he would be playing with the house band. Their lead singer had gotten sick and lost his voice, so Chase was asked to fill in for him. The band played alot of different country songs as well as mixing in some classic rock like the Eagles, and some new stuff like Kryptonite, by Three Doors Down.   As he got out of the truck he walked inside and introduced himself to the drummer and bass player. He unpacked his cherry red Gibson SG and tuned it before running through a few songs with the band. After getting warmed up he grabbed a beer at the bar, and drank it slowly. At 7 PM sharp he and the band opened up with Trouble by Travis Tritt followed by I'm gonna Be Someday.   The words to I'm Gonna Be Someday, always spoke to him. They were about a young boy from a small town who chased his dream and made it big despite everyone around saying he couldn't. That song was basically his life's story. Growing up he had moved around alot because his father was military. When he was 16 his father was stationed in North Alabama and switched to the National Guard. His father left on a mission and didn't return alive. He was 16 stuck in a small town with no friends and without his father. He spent alot of time alone with his radio and guitar as his only friends. His stepmother tried to console him but he just shut her out of his life. His mother had passed away during child birth, because of a freak accident.    Throughout high school Chase had an on/off relationship with a girl. She was his first girlfriend and his senior prom date. They broke up after graduation because their lives were both headed in different directions. After his graduation Chase moved immediately to Nashville with a backpack and his guitar and never looked back.   Years of being bullied in school because of his quiet, shyness, music became his escape. He had finally been hired by RCA Records to become a backup singer and studio musician. One more step on the ladder to becoming an independent musician. He could pick and choose which gigs he wanted to play now but always tried to help those out who had helped him in the beginning. Which was why on this Friday night he was playing at the Whitehorse saloon.
