After seeing Chad perform to a standing ovation at the Muskogee Civic Center, Grand Ole Opry star the late Del Reeves took Chad to Nashville and recorded demo's that led to a developmental recording deal with Mercury Records.

"Making music, and entertaining people is a love that I was born with, because I have been doing it all my life. I began performing in public at a very early age. Thanks to my dad, I had the opportunity to perform in bands, and shows all across the southern region. He eventually " stuck me out front", and encouraged me to pursue a career in music. I became part of the band when I was six. I moved to music city when I was 18, and have been working on all kinds of projects from country to pop/rock. Now days, I work with my brother Travis Trout,writing songs, and performing live. Travis over the years became not only my partner in music, but a wonderful producer, musician, songwriter, and engineer to work with. Through the wisdom of my family, and many great friends, I have been blessed with a wonderful journey, that I call my life! These inspirations flow through me, and take the form of music. My current project " Soul Repair" has been a spiritual journey for me, and I invite you to listen, and find a bit of yourself in it!"

Three guys who grew up listening to their dad play Johnny Cash tunes on an acoustic guitar have embraced the spirit of independent rock & roll. From the backwoods of West Virginia, the dust of Oklahoma, and the pouring rain of Seattle, they've created their own brand of scruffy, intelligent rock.
It all began while cruising around small-town Oklahoma in an old LeBaron convertible, the mid-nineties mix of country music and alternative rock scratching through their FM radio. There the guys beat together their idea of what real music was, and what a band should be.
But their lives were about to take several twists and turns. Through the earliest years of the 21st century, they would move from Oklahoma to Seattle, from Seattle to living on the road, and from living on the road back to their original home of West Virginia.
It was while in WV, in a town with few venues and a sparse music scene, that they would first buckle down and do the one thing most bands fail to do - grow a huge, loyal audience. Where there had been no venues, they took a local movie theater, and made it one of the most popular ones around. Where there had been a sparse music scene, they helped grow a network of musicians and bands that captivated the area. And then, they started aiming for the biggest goal they could find: to fill Charleston, WV's Civic Center.
Riding a wave of anticipation, and looking for a way to grow geographically and musically, they made one final move, and headed for Nashville, TN.
From Nashville, the brothers have struck out into the college circuit, traveling as far as Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Clarion, Pennsylvania. They've been selected to play alongside performers like Sister Hazel, Gin Blossoms, and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. And they've started doing what they do best - growing a huge, loyal audience.
