2009 Carolina Music Award winner, Chad Mackey is a 22 year old singer/songwriter based in the artsy town of Asheville, NC. Fans have been drawn to Chad's music by his catchy "feel good" melodies, and honest lyrics, which are inspired from everyday life, different experiences, and love. His current album “Chad Mackey Band” includes 12 songs recorded with his band, and a newly added (2009) bonus track. Chad is "building a name for himself in the regional coffeehouse and club scene," says Take 5 of the Asheville Citizen Times' entertainment section. His sound is a blend of laid-back island vibes, funky-rock grooves, and happy love songs. Chad is currently in the process of writing and recording for his next album.
