As a songwriter, Chance Emerson doesn’t observe and report. He lives and responds, mining his unique experiences growing up between Hong Kong and Maine to forge his compelling brand of melodic folk-rock.

A relative of the transcendental essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson, Chance is the son of a Taiwanese mother and American father. When he decided to move across the world to Providence, Rhode Island to pursue his studies, it didn’t take long before a growing passion for singing and writing his own songs overtook his original trajectory. He began performing up and down the Northeast corridor, headlining clubs to fervent followers and supporting established acts such as Johnnyswim, Brett Dennen, Eli Young Band, Lawrence, Ripe, Blues Traveler, and Nancy Wilson's Heart.

Chance, whose rich, dulcet voice propels the narratives of his distinctive songs, has also toured with Fantastic Negrito, Vincent Lima and Shakey Graves as well as performed at Lollapalooza, Cherrytree 20 and the Newport Folk Festival. This year will see him playing at Kentucky’s Bourbon and Beyond Festival and following up on his sold-out debut headline tour of Taiwan (Taipei, Tainan and Kaohsiung) last March as special guest opening for Sting on the September 7th show of his STING 3.0 world tour in Kaohsiung.

After receiving the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Award from BMI, Chance released single “Honey” and “Plant a Forest” before issuing a duet with Bebe Stockwell called “Driving Backwards.”
