The World’s Premier Tribute Band!
In Chase’s own words~
“In the decade before his passing, Prince allowed me to travel the world and perform in Tribute and in Reverence to his music. In particular, over the past six years, Chase & Ovation has been allowed and extremely blessed to perform a monthly concert at Prince’s favorite hometown/local live music venue (‘Bunkers Music Bar’) located in our hometown and in the heart of the North Loop of Minneapolis. I have always done this with Prince’s knowledge under the name ‘Chase & Ovation,’ and am frequently joined on stage with many of Prince’s former band mates. I wake up filled with gratitude every day and give thanks in prayer for the gift of music that Prince has given to me, but MORE importantly the gift that he has given to the world!”
Let us always remember to Celebrate Love… Life… And the Music of PRINCE!
~Tommy Chase~

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Country Music world mourns the loss of one of its’ most distinctive song stylists with the passing of Don Williams after a short illness. He was 78. A native of Floydada, Texas, Williams was born May 27, 1939. He grew up in Portland, TX, graduating there in 1958. Music had always been a part of his upbringing, entering – and winning – a talent contest when he was just three years old. For his efforts, Williams received an alarm clock. He began playing guitar during his teen-age years, learning the songs that he heard on the radio during that period. He and his friends played in local bands around the area, and he wed wife Joy Bucher on April 10, 1960. To support his family – which would grow to include two sons, Gary and Timmy – Williams worked at a number of odd jobs, including oil field work, and also as a bill collector. While living in Corpus Christi in 1964, he formed the folk-styled trio The Pozo Seco Singers with Lofton Cline and Susan Taylor. They stayed together for seven years, with their biggest hit being “Time.” After the group disbanded in 1969, Williams soon found his way to Nashville. By 1971, he had a songwriting contract with the publishing company owned by Jack Clement. The next year would see Williams ink a recording deal with Clement’s JMI Records. He made his chart debut with “The Shelter of Your Eyes” in 1973, and was soon hitting the charts time and again with a much more laid-back sound than a lot of the music coming out of Nashville at the time. 1974 would see Williams top the charts for the first time with “I Wouldn’t Want To Live If You Didn’t Love Me.” From that point all the way through 1991, each Williams single would hit the Top-40 on the Billboard Country charts. His 1970s hits included such chart toppers as “Tulsa Time,” “She Never Knew Me,” and “It Must Be Love.” His career grew steadily through label shifts to ABC / Dot, MCA, Capitol, and finally RCA. Williams also gained a devoted following overseas in such unlikely spots as England, Ireland, and New Zealand , and even South Africa and Kenya – where he reached superstar status. He was named the Male Vocalist of the Year by the Country Music Association in 1978. Though known for being very low-key and soft spoken, Williams did make two movie appearances – 1974’s W.W. and The Dixie Dancekings, and 1980’s Smokey and the Bandit II. The 1980s saw no slow down in Williams’ recorded output, with the singer notching his biggest hit with 1981’s “I Believe In You,” which not only topped the Country charts, but crossed over to No. 24 on the Hot 100. By this time, he had earned the nickname “The Gentle Giant” for his trademark mellow sound, and the hits continued to pile up throughout the rest of the decade – “Stay Young,” “If Hollywood Don’t Need You,” and “One Good Well” being three of his biggest of the 1980s. His final top ten came in 1991, with “Lord Have Mercy On A Country Boy,” a song that Josh Turner – a Williams fan – would record in 2006. Though the changing of the guard at radio slowed down Williams’ chart success, he continued to perform for sold-out crowds in America and abroad, playing a final tour in 2006. However, retirement was not in the cards for the singer, who returned to the road in 2010 – the same year that he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Williams’ return to the spotlight also included a pair of albums on Sugar Hill, 2012’s And So It Goes, and 2014’s Reflections, which included contributions from Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, and Keith Urban. It was a sign of his enduring appeal that both albums hit the Top-20 on the Billboard Country Albums charts – his biggest rank there in three decades. In 2016, Williams decided that the time was right for his final performance, calling it a career after one of the most successful careers in the history of the Country Music business. “It’s time to hang my hat up and enjoy some quiet time at home. I’m so thankful for my fans, my friends and my family for their everlasting love and support,” the 76-year-old Williams said in a statement at the time. Last year also saw the final release of Williams’ career, a live CD and DVD recorded in Ireland. In 2017, the singer was the subject of a tribute album, Gentle Giants: The Songs of Don Williams, that included performances of his hits by artists such as Lady Antebellum and Garth Brooks. |
We see and hear horror stories from fraternities and colleges all over the country that have been scammed/ripped off by fraudulent booking agents. It is much safer to go through a reputable, legitimate booking agency instead of trying to direct book an artist directly. In many cases, the information on their social media isn’t up to date and you can easily be wiring money to someone who doesn’t actually even work with the act anymore. Before booking an artist, check their website for references. Do they announce a show, have flyers behind it, and then have follow up pictures and videos from the show with references from clients? If the answer is no, you likely are being scammed. It is absolutely worth paying the extra 10% booking fee to ensure an artists shows up, performs a full set (at least 60 minutes) and that all the terms of the contract are followed.
Be sure to read this story. This exact “talent agency” Global Talent ripped off a guy in Knoxville last Fall. He wired them several thousand dollars.
A couple of quick examples.
* We saw one inexperienced promoter pay Gucci Mane $100,000 plus travel expenses for him to do a ‘walk through” and they sold tickets to 3,000 people promoting it as a “full concert”. As a result, you had 3,000 irate, pissed off concert goers who paid $40 per ticket to see a 15 minute performance.
*Inexperienced promoter in Memphis wired a fake agency in Ohio $30,000 to book a Mac Miller date. Turns out, Mac wasn’t booked at all to perform. The promoter was never able to get their money back.
At Hutch Entertainment, we book acts such as Migos, Two Chainz, Juicy J, BoneThugsandHarmony, Ying Yang Twins, A$Ap Ferg, Lil Wayne, Chief Keef, A Tribe Called Quest, Boozie BadAzz, Post Malone, Rick Ross, and many more that give full performances of at least 60 minutes. We don’t do “walk throughs”. We have a twenty five year track record of buying artists for fairs, festivals, corporate events, night clubs, and colleges (for fairs and festivals). We LOVE what we do and want to give our customers experiences they won’t forget.
We send a representative out to every booking to ensure everything runs smoothly from the time we confirm your artist through their performance to make sure your event goes off perfectly! Please be responsible and careful on who you work with! We would love the opportunity to earn your business so shoot us a message!
