“Chasing Phoenix brings a motley musical experience every time they play. With something for everyone, they are the one band you want to make sure you follow. A performance with Chasing Phoenix is more than a show. It is an event you will not soon forget. Join our Facebook group CP Chasers to stay up to date on where we will be next.

Chasing Phoenix gives you a musical experience that has the unique ability to transport you back in time and then bring you right back to present day, all in one show. This is the show that you do not want to miss!” (From https://chasingphoenixband.com/bio)
