Chad's involvement in touring and recording has made him fans across the US and beyond.
His live shows, a mix of barn-burner folk rock and soul-crushing balladry, still feature that remarkable voice that inspired the Portland Tribune to say “Whether at a whisper or full volume, Bault has that rare ability to stop conversation and turn every head in the house in his direction…”

If you've been to Punks, you know who The Cockaphonix & Bad Habit are! Those two bands are awesome!! You probably also know who Damon is, and he's alright I guess, but he's one of the owners and it's his 50th birthday!! Yeah, I know, I know! He barely looks a day over 35, but it's true, so don't miss this party!!
