Derek Chase

Derek Chase is determined. He knows where he is and where he wants to go.

Applying fresh ideas to his classical, pop and blues roots Derek Chase finds his groove in a brand new set of original songs.

He uncovers inspiration in the sounds of blues artists Robert Johnson and Willie Dixon; he nurtures his soul with the voices of the Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye; and he loves the music of Nick Drake; he digs popular music from all music eras; and from them all, he learns & creates a mixture of blues, folk, pop and rock with a unique sound like no other.

Derek will take the main stage at 12:15PM
