About
Born in Nacogdoches, Texas, Chad Hammock officially began his music career in Waxahachie, TX when he was asked to record and release his original song "Carved in Stone" with Hat Creek Records back in 2004. From there he began writing and recording tunes for his first album titled Rough Cuts, which was released in January 2007. Among the list of original songs was also a previously unrecorded track written by Cody Canada of Cross Canadian Ragweed, as well as an acoustic cover of Steve Earle's Copperhead Road. Soon after joining Hat Creek in '04, Chad was sharing the stage with Texas Music greats such as Bart Crow, Brandon Rhyder, Stoney LaRue, Jack Ingram, Cooder Graw, Charlie Robison, Wade Bowen, and Radney Foster to name a few. "Carved in Stone" was featured on the syndicated CD Tex Radio Show, as well as song of the week two weeks in a row on L.A.'s Hot Country internet radio station. Chad made his live radio debut in April 2005 on 99.5 the Wolf's Front Porch Show hosted by Justin Frazell. Chad made his second appearance on the show in May live from WolfDance, with his third coming on June 17, 2007. The current band formed this past Summer, and they will be in the studio during the final months of the year preparing for the release of their first project as a group in early 2008. Taking influences from musicians from across the spectrum including his dad Mike of the Johnny Rodriguez Band, many of todays Texas favorites such as Rodney Pyeatt, Walt Wilkins, LaRue and Ragweed, and yesterday's mainstays such as Ray Wylie Hubbard, Johnny Cash, The Eagles, The Band, The Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, Dylan, Seger, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and many more, they put together a diverse, energetic, and soulful sound that they hope will keep audiences coming back for more. Keep spreadidng the word and be sure to check out the band at a show in your area.
