Recently, on June 4, Chet gave a great show to a grateful Fountain audience -- songs with soul and humor and sometimes too-close-to-home truths -- and he introduced a young up-and-comer on the music scene. Chet's generosity with an audience, his hard-wired connections with fellow artists, and his intimacy with working-man's blues all make Chet Nichols a performer every North Carolinian should know, and people everywhere should hear.
