BLUEGRASS ON THE FLY!!!
It all started in the spring of 2002.
The snow started to melt and the rain began to fall. With the wondrous
change of the seasons the chrome fish started to migrate up the river.
Three anglers pointed their truck towards the sunrise and headed to
their favorite stretch of river. With a perfect cast the reel began to
scream out and chromie sped down the river. There on the banks of the roaring river Chasin' Steel was formed. Soon a fourth was consumed by the
quest of hearing his "reel scream whats the deal".

CHASIN’ STEEL
is a slang term for Steelhead fishing, and as the band members are avid steelhead fishermen, they decided to have
their name reference this. Thus, blending two of their favorite pastimes; fishing and bluegrass music.

Jonah, Jacob and Jason Kuhlman grew up
playing music in the family band and when they joined forces with Adam
Carpenter, a unique chemistry brought a new flavor of bluegrass to the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Chasin' Steel is a traditionally
structured four-piece bluegrass group with the majority of their songs
featuring the banjo, mandolin, guitar and acoustic bass with three and
four part harmonies. Although they typically structure their
instrumentation in this traditional manner, their sound has, what has
been called, a unique edge to it. Some have called them, "Bluegrass
with a Rock & Roll attitude." They do
have several songs that feature the hammered dulcimer which are always
crowd pleasers. Chasin' Steel has numerous original songs, traditional
songs, and contemporary bluegrass covers that have a hard driving,
aggressive nature to them. Many of their loyal fans enjoy their tribute
to Jimmy Martin, also known as the King of Bluegrass. They have been
called a high energy band that appeals to not only hard core bluegrass
fans, but to the average fan of music. It is also not uncommon to see a
varied crowd of college students and older folks in the same audience.
