Chance Emerson is a folk-rock singer-songwriter born in Taipei and raised in Hong Kong and Maine, mining his unique experiences living across continents and cultures to forge his compelling brand of melodic ‘Asian-Americana’ folk-rock.

After deciding to move across the world to Providence, Rhode Island to pursue his studies, it didn’t take long before a growing passion for singing and songwriting overtook his original trajectory. Chance began performing up and down the Northeast corridor, headlining clubs and supporting established acts as varied as Sting, Shakey Graves, Sam Barber, and Nancy Wilson’s Heart.

A recipient of the prestigious BMI John Lennon Songwriting Award, Chance has performed at Newport Folk Festival, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Bourbon & Beyond.
