Everyone saw the duo's potential in Charleston, South Carolina native Matt Chase and small-town Washington, Georgia's Chris Rogers before they saw it themselves. Before morphing into the musical outfit now known as Southerland, the two had been playing college towns and dive bars together for three years. They met in 2016 through mutual friend Ray Fulcher during a songwriting session and their musical compatibility is what has kept the two working and playing together since. They have developed, quite naturally, into a duo that relies heavily on lyrical content, while melodically tapping into a '90s sound that feels completely current. The two create music that takes the storytelling of traditional country music and gives it a relatable, modern country vibe.
