Chance Emerson is a singer-songwriter born in Taipei and raised in Hong Kong and Maine, mining his
unique experiences living across continents and cultures to forge his compelling brand of melodic
‘Asian-Americanaʼ folk-rock. After deciding to move across the world to Providence, Rhode Island to
pursue his engineering studies, it didnʼt take long before a growing passion for singing and songwriting
overtook his original trajectory. Chance began performing up and down the Northeast corridor,
headlining clubs and supporting established acts as varied as Shakey Graves, Sam Barber, and Nancy
Wilsonʼs Heart. A recipient of the prestigious BMI John Lennon Songwriting Award, Chance recently
performed at Newport Folk Festival and Lollapalooza.
