When country performer Chas Collins steps on
stage, it's no secret why so many people are sure he's
going to be a star someday.

Whether it's his signature vocals, his high-energy
stage show, or watching the 6'6" cowboy step out on
the dance floor just to stir the crowd up even more,
he makes it happen. And people notice.      

"Our clientele have raved about his performances,
and have requested his return every time we have
had him," said Bobby Pollard, entertainment
coordinator for a venue near Nashville. "I really
believe that this young man is going places in the
entertainment business."

Chas was born and raised in Belle Chasse,
Louisiana, where music was always a part of his life.
He visited Nashville a few years ago to record his
first CD at Magic Tracks Studio.

Released in 2005, They Wanna Hang a Bad Boy sold just over 400 copies in the first few months. Then
the hurricane hit.

The remaining 600 copies of the CD were lost after Katrina, along with nearly everything Chas owned.
But that didn't stop him. It just made him work harder.

Determined to follow his dream, he headed for Nashville with nothing but a few changes of clothes
and the money in his pocket.

Since then, he's put together his current band, made up of talented musicians Dale Boudreaux (Piano,
Keys, Guitar and B/G Vocals), Mike Seals (Lead Guitar and B/G Vocals), Derrick Michaud (Bass
Guitar), and Rob Pate (Drums and Percussion).

These days, Chas is working harder than ever at doing what he loves. He covers his hard-hitting
originals, current country hits, and the crowd-pleasing favorites. He and his band are preparing for
their next tour, while he works on material for a second album.

"There is no doubt in my mind that a record deal is in the near future for this young country artist,"
said producer Butch Johnson from Magic Tracks Studio. "He's just too good to be overlooked for long."
