The Performers
Ben Chase (Host)
Ben Chase is one of country music’s most exciting rising stars, blending honky-tonk energy with breezy, coastal charm in a style he proudly calls “Tiki Tonk.” Hailing from Prince Edward Island, Canada, Ben has already earned over 8 million global streams, two #1 singles on the Canadian iTunes Country chart, and a growing list of standout performances across North America.
With a natural talent for storytelling and an electrifying stage presence, Ben has shared the stage being direct support for artists like Dan + Shay, Sam Hunt, Zac Brown Band, Scotty McCreery, and Brett Kissel. He’s also performed at some of country music’s biggest festivals, including Country Thunder Alberta, The Calgary Stampede, Cavendish Beach Music Festival, Cowboys Music Festival and Big Valley Jamboree.
Following a Fans’ Choice Award win at the 2020 Country Music Alberta Awards, Ben made the move to Nashville, where he continues to carve out his unique sound and identity—rooted in small-town values, good times, and a love for the water. His breakout single “Somebody’s Summer” became one of his most-streamed songs to date, paving the way for his highly anticipated debut EP, due in late 2025.
Ben’s newest release, “Best Boat”—released July 18—is a sun-soaked anthem built for boat days and barefoot nights, capturing the spirit of summer that defines his signature style.
Whether you’re on a dock, at a festival, or just dreaming of warmer days, Ben Chase delivers a country experience that feels like a vacation.
