Chance McCoy Bio -
Chance McCoy is a Grammy winning Indie Folk musician from West Virginia. After receiving a grant to study with old master musicians from the Appalachian Mountains, he went on to win the Fiddle, Banjo and Dulcimer championships in his home state. His studies and deep love for the traditional ways of the mountaineer soon landed him in an unintentional situation though, abject poverty. In 2012 Chance was living in a run down cabin when a cold call from Old Crow Medicine Show landed him an invite to join the legendary Americana band of 'Wagon Wheel' fame. His first album with Old Crow, where he debuted his talents as song writer, singer and instrumentalist, earned the band a Grammy for best folk album. After touring with artists such as Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers, Willie Nelson, Sturgil Simpson, Margo Price and other luminaries, he turned his focus towards making his first solo record. His first LP 'Wander Wide' set to be released in 2019 is a collection of masterfully written songs woven with threads of folk, indie, and rock, with pop hooks laden through out. Straying far from clichéd Americana it's an incredibly creative take on the modern singer song writer, wherein each song was written specifically for it's unique placement on the album, unfolding into different landscapes of light and shade as it takes the listener on a musical journey. Chance currently lives on his farm in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia where he enjoys a rustic back to the land lifestyle, creating music and producing films.

Chance McCoy Biography
Chance McCoy was living in a broke down cabin in the mountains of Virginia, raising his son alone and struggling to make a few hundred dollars a week teaching fiddle at the local school in 2012 when a cold call from Ketch Secor, frontman of Old Crow Medicine Show, landed him a spot in the acclaimed string band of 'Wagon Wheel' fame. Lending his talents as a virtuosic multi-instrumentalist, singer and song writer, his work on the bands next album 'Remedy' earned them a Grammy. Now, after honing his talents behind the scenes in Nashville learning to record and produce his own music, he's remerged as a solo artist bringing an exciting new blend of folk, indie rock and electronica to his sound.
