WA Tour Announced
Rhythm Section Management presents..
THE FAMILY VACATION TOUR - Are We There Yet?
Rhythm Section Management is proud to announce “The Family Vacation Tour” – a WA tour by the multiple Australian Blues Awards winners Chase The Sun. The Family Vacation Tour will be the first full WA tour for the hard rocking three-piece and they’ll be visiting a raft of West Coast hot spots over the winter. The last time the band were in WA was for a brief appearance at the Bridgetown Blues Festival in 2008 and this will be their first chance to bring their latest album ‘Rednecks & Gentlemen’ to West Coast audiences.
Along for the ride are soul sister Cass Eager and her band The Velvet Rope and rootsy solo brother Claude Hay in support. Cass Eager is no stranger to WA, having toured extensively in 2006 and 2007, and both Cass and Claude Hay will be performing tracks from their critically acclaimed releases “Down On my Knees” and “Deep Fried Satisfied” respectively.
Chase The Sun’s Family Vacation Tour was a smash hit up and down the East Coast last summer and is set to do the same in The West this winter.

Claude, Cass and Chase The Sun share their roots in blues, but sound-wise they sit on very different branches of the family tree. Claude does his stomping one-man-band vibe, Cass Eager & The Velvet Rope bring the sound of soul, and Chase The Sun take care of ‘The Rock’.Each of these artists released new material in 2010 to critical acclaim, and all have been appearing at major festivals Australia-wide this past year, while also making inroads into the international market. Claude Hay’s new album ‘Deep Fried Satisfied’ hit the US Billboard chart at #9 in November 2010, bettering Chase The Sun’s previous best of #13 by four positions. Talk about your sibling rivalry. Soul sister Cass graced the top ten of the indie Canadian Charts, so she’s not taking any crap whatsoever from her boisterous brothers on this trip.All three artists are booked by Rhythm Section Management, and have releases on the Only Blues Music label. The Family Vacation Tour is the first opportunity they’ve had to tour extensively together as a bonded family unit. So while each is worth the price of admission on their own, this is a triple-bill to get off the hammock for as it arrives at a holiday hot spot near you.
