Biography

Mechanical bull grew out of the ashes of Chase Pierson's first marriage. After the initial thrill of freedom and independence that followed the break up, Chase began writing country songs that reflected his experiences in marriage and living the American dream.

Almost all of the songs reflect Chase's past. Growing up the son of a preacher, Chase moved from town to town every few years, whenever the good lord told his Dad to go. After leaving home he kept wandering around, from Boston where he was a crew chief on an ambulance, to Texas where he was a mechanic and a tow truck driver, to Kansas where he was an appliance delivery/repairman. Chase finally settled down in Woodstock, Ny where he gave married life a go and after 6 years he emerged with a great kid and tons of material for writing country songs.

Chase then teamed up with guitarist/producer Adam Widoff and began recording some songs. Before long there was an album's worth of material and a full band.
