Chad K. Slagle, The Singing Bowyer

Chad just finished up a tour across 8 states with his band, "Yesterday's Wine"! Fans were excited to hear new songs from the album due out next year. With new mandolin/guitar player Chris Butler, Chad's sound and voice has gotten a new edge that has reached out to an even larger fan base, while still keeping true to his roots. Songs like Never Take The Dudley Boys Alive about two brothers who run from the law after killing a man in a bar room brawl, and Interstate 68 which describes a couple of young kids taking the law into their own hands, were very well received--as well as the type of classic songs fans have come to expect, including Autumn Antlers and The One That Got Away
