Chaz Hawley. . . Bass & Vocals . . . . PICS»
A native of the Bay Area, Chaz started off playing brass and wind instruments, mainly trombone, in his high school band, but by his senior year had lost interest. In college (1967) best friend "Jody" introduced him to the bass guitar, and suddenly he had found his instrument. He's played in cover & original bands for almost 40 years. Chaz is mostly influenced by classic progressive bassists like John Paul Jones, Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, and Jack Bruce, among others.
Having always had a knack for repairs and setups on guitars and basses, he decided to branch out and fix pianos. After apprenticing at a piano repair shop, he started his own business tuning, repairing and refinishing pianos. After doing that for 15 years, he switched into computers and he's now doing: websites, graphics, 2D & 3D animation, video production and editing.
He also plays guitar, keyboards and flute. Aside from music, his main hobby is motorcycling.
