Almost Done by The Sam Chase

"Almost Done" is a solo(ish) album by Sam Chase. In April of 2019 an unfortunate surgery due to an unfortunate motorcycle accident took Sam out of commission. After the surgery, Sam was hit with a hefty medical bill that he couldn't afford, even with his medical insurance (can you imagine that??? cough...)
This album was created as a reward to all of the incredible friends, family and fans who helped Sam pay his bill. His Kickstarter was fully funded within two days, and Sam, with his crutches and a big pink cast, hobbled his way into the studio to record this album.
Many friends lent their musical talents to the album as well. The album took 1 year almost to the day to finish. Here is Sam's most heartfelt thank you... "Almost Done"

"A true testament to this man's artistry and songwriting abilities. Like witnessing a wordsmith working in the forge..." - Michael D. Carney
