SEEDY ORIGINS:

Chadface (a stage title he has adopted for over 25 years) has been playing music since time immemorial (otherwise known as 3rd grade), though his love of music did not set in until he listened to No Doubt’s “Tragic Kingdom” and heard the magic of Tony Kanal for the first time and embraced the bass. But then he heard Nirvana’s “Nevermind” and decided that all the cool kids play guitar so he went to church and learnt how to play… and not even like “take me to church” in the abstract colloquial way, like actual Church. And then all of sudden, destiny smiled upon young Chadsauce and Tenacious D showed him the ways of unplugged acoustic rock bragadociousness and he has never stopped stopping. Since then he has tirelessly honed his craft until he could at last achieve the highly sought after rank of “adequately skilled musician”. It was touch and go for a time there.

Chadface has spent the better part of a decade in popular Sacramento-based cover group RevolutionBeat: Tribute to the Beatles, alongside long time comrade in rock, Justin Goldenstick. He now speeds his time getting seedy in his garage or living room. When not rocking, he is with his wife and children living a life of blessing and riches (spiritual… not monetary) in luxurious West Sacramento.
