Chase-ing Your Dreams, One Chord at a Time
Singer/Songwriter Erica Chase decided life’s too short not to be a rock star.
Published by Christine Louise Hohlbaum in The Power of Slow
Erica Chase, the talented young singer/songwriter (“We Can Fly”) was an English major at Pitzer College in Claremont, California, when she met multiplatinum producer, Dana Strum (Slaughter bassist). Through connections her father’s business partner made in Las Vegas, Erica met Dana on February 1, 2006. That date will forever burn in her memory, not only because of the amazingness of the moment, but because of what happened the very next day. Riding on her bicycle on the way to meet a friend for lunch, she was slammed up against a truck windshield, flying through the air and onto the ground. She awoke in a helicopter with a mask over her face.
“I will never forget that day for as long as I live,” she told me in a recent phone interview. While she had dabbled in songwriting as a high school jock growing up sandwiched between two brothers, she hadn’t realized how much her dream to become a rock star outweighed her upper-middle class upbringing of doing the smart thing such as becoming an educator. “I was on my way to Seattle to become a teacher,” she revealed. But after her accident, from which she miraculously walked away with minor injuries, she realized how short life could be. It was time to take the bull by the horns and live out the secret dream she truly harbored.

Foxnews.com interviews Erica on Steven Tyler’s “The Star Spangled Banner”
Last week Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler came under fire for his rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” ahead of the AFC championship game between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots.
