Chase Johner - Chase was born in Chilhowie, VA and still lives here. He will be nineteen years old old in April. Chase has been playing guitar for seven years and playing mandolin about five years. He has developed his own unique style on the mandolin and Smyth County Jam is happy to see him take the stage, to play or sing at any time. He says his influence has been Ronnie McCoury, son of Dell McCoury. Chase played at the White House in 2005, for the "Pageant for Peace." In a short while Chase will take a tour in Europe, mainly Germany to showcase his very great talents. We know he will be received well there. Good Luck, Chase!
