Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Lead singer Chance Hambright has played music his entire life. Starting with keyboards when he was a tot, to playing trumpet at school [over 8 years and numerous awards.] But before those golden days of brass, Chance started playing guitar when he was around 9 years old. He quickly quit as he thought it was too hard. About 7 years later, he picked his guitar back up and taught himself how to play. With a few years of self-taught playing he then went on for professional piano and voice lessons in college.
The other-half of the Roast, Joseph Chance, took an interest in playing guitar when his friend [and future bandmate,] Chance played him a few 'funny' songs. Sparking this interest, Joe decided he wanted to do the same. After a few months of lessons from Chance, Joe quickly adopted his own style and ability.
