We are a group of experienced, ex-national touring musicians who have come together to play music that everyone knows and loves. Having played for acts such as The Marshall Tucker Band, Vern Gosdin, and many others, each member brings their own style and experience to the band.
• We play Country, Classic Rock & Your Requests!
• We can tailor playlists for weddings, anniversary’s, or other special events.
• Take a Chance brings 3 and 4 part vocal harmonies along with 4 lead singers! We bring a state of the art wireless PA plus and LED light show. To put it simply, we bring a level of professionalism to every show that is rare with local bands. We are sure you will LOVE what you hear!

June 11, 2019Couldn't have been happier with these guys. Music was fantastic! Very professional and accommodating. We are in our late 50's and this was just the type of band/music we were looking for.
Seriously, you cant go wrong with Take a Chance!
Hired as: Wedding Band
Price range: $750-$2500
Languages: English
Gig length: 180 - 240 minutes
We are a four-piece band with 4 singers, 4 musicians, and an excellent light show. We use a high-end sound system and provide all of our own equipment, so the only thing we need you to provide is a place to set up! We are known for our harmonies, as well as the ability to play almost any song called out from the crowd. We aren’t a group of young kids, but we’re young at heart, and we’re a hit with audiences of all ages.
Why not, Take A Chance? We are all seasoned professionals who play music because we love it!
Mike - Drums and Vocals
When Mike isn't drumming on the weekends, he likes to take convertible rides with his wife and drum on the steering wheel. He has 4 children, 2 of which currently live in Florida. He likes to split his time between the beach and the theme parks as often as possible. He grew up playing drums in bands around the country from the age of 15, and now he plays from the comfort of the tri-state area.
Doug - Guitar and Vocals
When Doug isn't playing music, he enjoys restoring classic cars and attending car shows with his wife. They recently restored a 1948 Ford F1, which was chosen for a spot in a classic car calendar. Doug was a professional touring musician for 9 years, owns over 300 guitars, and a few dozen amps... But he insists he doesn't have a problem.
Steve - Bass and Vocals
Steve was out of the music business for roughly ten years, but as soon as he got the call, he was ready to jump back in head-first! Steve is one of the most sought-after bassists in the Greater Cincinnati area. He formerly played with top acts such as Lonestar, and a handful of other bands. He lends his voice as a 3rd part harmony and takes the lead on a few songs as well.
David Lewis - Keyboards & Vocals
Dave Lewis brings a professional music background having toured nationally and penned over 400 songs! Dave has recorded his own music and is the most accomplished vocalist in Take a Chance. He is a Full-Time musician and usually plays somewhere 7 days a week often multiple times per day. He is also a professional photographer (in his spare time)
We require some type of stage when performing outdoor venues with a minimum 20amp breaker. Our PA system with our lights has approximately 18,000 watts. We bring enough cables to plug in but we need the power supply to be within 50ft of the stage.
