In mid 2004, friends Billy Wilcosky and Ryan Enloe put aside their
solo ambitions and joined forces under the band name, "The Rhyme
& Reason To". Their acoustic work was an immediate hit amongst
listeners. The two enjoyed moderate successes, but both wanted to
head in a different direction.
When Ryan called drummer and long-time friend Cris Cortes, the duo
put aside their acoustics for electric guitars, and combined with
Cortes' unique rhythmic styling, gave birth to the powerful Harmonic
Rock/Power Pop sound that is Chasing Katie! But, the band was not
complete. Despite heavy praise as a trio, the guys knew to truly represent
the quality of their songs, they would need a skilled bassist to bring
depth and round out the band's potent, but sometimes light, breed
of songwriting. Such bassist was found in Adam Davenport, long time
guitarist/bassist and accomplished songwriter.
Drawing on such influences as The Beatles, U2, Jimmy Eat World and
more, Chasing Katie has quickly amassed a repertoire of 30 original
songs ranging from coffee shop foot tappers, to sleep inducing ballads,
all the way up to fist-shaking rock anthems! Their first single, "We're
Ready" can be heard on East Coast radios and wherever good music
is played.
