Steven Cali and Chad Mac opened the show at Kegs saturday night. What a great duo and put on a great hour long set. Kegs got a treat with these guys while they waited for Zack Lee and headliner Chase Matthew. The fans at kegs were impressed by the performance of Zach. He’s from North Carolina and touring with Chase, sings country music from the heart and loves what he does. Zack Lee i’m sure gained some new fans from New York, heard many talking about how impressed they were of his set.His fanbase will steadily get bigger over time as he makes his name known to the world of country music.
Chase Matthew put on a high energy impressive show for Upstate NY/ Kegs Canal Side. The high energy Matthew was all over the stage and even traded singing for a spot to pound on the drums toward the end of the show. Chase told a few stories throughout the night. One being he played in Albany and learned how to say the word “Albany” and after the showed was approached by a man. The man explains i don’t want nothing, i’m not homeless or anything but can you do me one favor and send my daughter a video. She’s in remission from cancer and has been now for 5 years and couldn’t make it to the show. Chase made the video and told her dad about the Jordan NY show and to make sure they come.
The little girl now the age of 10 sat up on the speakers in front of the stage and watched with the biggest smile. Her life at the age of 5 turned her family upside down. They heard the aweful words nobody wants to hear “your daughter has cancer” she was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma of the spine. She underwent several surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, infusions for blood and platelets, hospital stays etc… They drove over 2 1/2 hours to get to the show. A dream this little lady had to see Chase live and meet him. Yes she was given a signed bottle of water a signed hat and photos with Chase. He’s truly a stand up guy and made one little girl smile for a long time to come.
