Having toured several times nationally and regionally since 2006, Joh Chase is a seasoned veteran to the indie and grass roots music scene on the West Coast. Opening for Noah Gundersen, Aaron Sprinkle, Barcelona, David Bazan, and Robert DeLong to name a few, Joh's earlier folk/rock song writing came from their Northwest roots. 

John Bolten is an avid songwriter, musician, and folk music enthusiast from West Virginia.

John is often referred to as a “songwriter’s songwriter”, and has played everywhere from the sidewalks of LA, to house concerts in South Carolina, to concert halls in Virginia, and Maryland. He has shared the stage with the likes of Drivin N Cryin, Jason Isbell, Tom House, and Eric Taylor, and once picked up Roland White in a rainstorm and took him to Walmart to buy a poncho.  #songwriter #songwriting #folk #baltimore #americana #houseconcert

We had so much recording this song with @cris_jaco We had so much recording this song with @cris_jacobs and @nick_sjostrom for @annapolisbaygrassfestival .  This is a song with a message and with a purpose!  Annapolis Baygrass Music Festival is a 2-day beachfront music fest at Sandy Point State Park Sept 30 me of Oct 1 in Annapolis, MD.  We are thrilled to announce a theme song, “In The Water,” by Baygrass House Band, Geraldine, with special guest Cris Jacobs on Dobro! Listen here → https://linktr.ee/geraldineband. (🔗link in bio) 

"In The Water" was written by singer/songwriter/guitarist John Bolten, PhD, who is also the Chief of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Hydrological Sciences Lab. This man understands the water and why all of our actions have such a significant impact on the Chesapeake Bay. 

Bolten says, “The Chesapeake Bay supports more than 3,600 species of plants and animals and consists of nearly 12000 miles of coastline—more than the entire western coast of the U.S. It’s in dire need of attention. So we wrote a song to emphasize how all of our actions affect this precious resource and how it is shared with friends downstream and should be protected for future generations.”

Annapolis Baygrass Music Festival headliners include Yonder Mountain String Band, Railroad Earth, Keller & The Keels, and Melvin Seals & JGB. Other national touring bands include Fruition, Lindsay Lou (band & artist-at-large), Cabinet, Cris Jacobs & Smooth Kentucky, Jon Stickley Trio, Arkansauce, The Dirty Grass Players, The High & Wides, Wicked Sycamore, and the Baygrass House Band—Geraldine.

‘Every Jam Saves the Bay!
