Chad Givens
Chad learned quickly that fate has a funny way of putting you in the right place at the right time. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that rummaging around at a garage sale would be a life changing experience. The young Nashville musician got more than he "bargained" for when someone picked up on his uncanny resemblance to country music superstar Tim McGraw.

While driving down a country road one day, Chad caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye. It was an old vintage guitar. Although he had no money, he pulled into the garage sale to check it out. As he played the guitar a man soon approached him by the name of Gary Bridges. Gary informed Chad that he was currently looking for entertainers for a show and said Chad looked a lot like Tim McGraw. Bridges asked him if he could sound like McGraw. Chad replied, "I can sound like anybody!" Then Belted out a few opening lines from an early McGraw song. Gary's eyes lit up and he then told Chad that he could use someone like him in a country music look-a-like show. The two men exchanged phone numbers and soon realized a great partnership had just begun.

Before he knew what was happening, Chad found himself singing as a professional at shopping malls Nationwide as a part of a corporate promotion for Fairfield Glade. This quickly led to more serious venues, including the famous Stardust Theater in Nashville and Opryland on the world famous General Jackson Dinner Cruise. He appeared there for over two years as a cast member in the tribute show "Viva Nash Vegas" and "Country Music USA." CMUSA was such a big sucess that it wasn't long before the show hit the road. Nevada was where the show landed and it weas so well received that it was picked up by BU-LA Productions and has now become a Casino favorite on the west coast and abraod.

Through this incredible show, its experiences, and his energetic portrayal of Tim McGraw, Chad has captivated audiences all over the country. He ahs performed on National television. He has also become an accomplished singer/songwriter in his own right. He hopes all of these experiences will help fuel the rocket that will someday launch his own career playing his own music.
