The Band
What started as just a couple guys from Montana and Canada gettin' together to combine followings soon took off into regional phenomenon. Since the inception of "Nathan Chance" in May of 2006, the boys have opened for National-caliber Acts such as Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Shedaisy, Brooks n' Dunn and most recently.... George Strait. Their following continues to grow in the northwest with the support of major market stations like KMPS of Seattle. Their style of country music tends to be on the rock/Blues edge and people continue to flock to shows as they've come to expect the best "regional" entertainment around. Come see for yourself how two small town boys have managed to capture the attention of big crowds. Welcome to Nathan Chance Country...

Nathan Arneson
Born on the Alaska-Canadian Highway at mile marker 47.... Nathan has never been anything less than a remarkable story. For seven years he worked crowds throughout the northwest covering everything Tim McGraw to Ronnie Dunn. When his heart turned to original music and his music career crossed paths with Chance, he knew there was a recipe for success in the not-so-distant future. "When I first stumbled across a Nathan Arneson show, I was amazed at how many people in the audience identified with him... To be honest, I was a little jealous," says Chance. "Having worked and performed with him for a year, I now understand how he was able to do it ... the guy is electric!"

Chance McKinney
Standing over 6'6" tall, Chance has some large boots to fill. The expectation of the country "big man means competition" with likes of Trace Adkins, Keith Anderson and Darryl Worley. While not on the same national stage as the boys above, Chance can cover all their material and yet still bring his own unique style to a show with the deep, filthy, syrup drippings' voice. A background in Motown means he moves like a temptation while a Montana upbringing roots him squarely in country. Nathan remembers, "seeing Chance sing his originals on stage for the first time. Who'd have guessed a couple years later he'd be writing songs for 'us' in 'our' group!?"

Ed DeGenaro
