Together, they make politically astute, rock n’ roll-funk.JOH CHASE—Career trajectories are rarely linear or make logical sense. Life is unpredictable so all you can do is put in good work and keep at it. Joh Chase is a testament to this. Over the past two decades, the Seattle-raised, Los Angeles-based artist has persistently honed their songwriting and toured, opening for acts like Noah Gunderson and David Bazan. This dedication comes out entirely in their music, which feels so timeless, confident, and fully realized it can only come from someone who’s devoted their whole life to their craft. Their new songs feel like a turning point for them: the culmination of a lifetime of writing, losing, loving, and doing it all yourself. These singles, which toe the line between confessional folk and breezy but ethereal pop, are a dynamic introduction to an essential artist.In the spring of 2024, Northwest Indie label, Kill Rock Stars, put out Chase’s record, SOLO, co-produced by Chase and Dan Molad (Lucius, Coco). Later that fall, they toured with Kate Nash on her North American tour across the midwest and the west coast.Look out for US dates and west coast summer dates with Oakland’s Black Dyke Rock group, Skip the Needle.
