Chasing Phoenix- When musicians Zee Phoenix and Ronnie Williams met in 2014, the chemistry was undeniable - both on and off the stage. They formed the duo Chasing Phoenix and began playing local bars and open mic nights. With Zee on vocals and Ronnie on guitar/vocals, their unique musical style built a following in and around Charleston, South Carolina.

After getting married in 2020, the duo moved to Mooresville, North Carolina, where they picked up Tim Vaughan on bass guitar, Malory Schultz on bg vocals & keys, along with Chris Bird on percussion/bg vocals. The modern-day Chasing Phoenix rose. They play original music, as well all an eclectic mix of covers including old-school and modern country, pop, soul, classic rock, and a little bit of shag (if you know, you know).

Since its inception, Chasing Phoenix has powered into the local mainstream performing a vast array of music on the ever-expanding local scene. Chasing Phoenix brings a motley musical experience every time they play. With something for everyone, they are the one band you want to make sure you follow. A performance with Chasing Phoenix is more than a show. It is an event you will not soon forget. Join our Facebook group CP Chasers to stay up to date on where we will be next. Chasing Phoenix gives you a musical experience that has the unique ability to transport you back in time and then bring you right back to the present day, all in one show. This is the show that you do not want to miss!
