Chasing Anthems - based out of Northern California, is an original Country-Rock music duo formed in 2018. The group was founded by Richard Hibbard and Travis Howell, who became friends while sharing their passion for music, community and church, while volunteering at their local church’s youth group.
Coming from different musical backgrounds, styles, and even interests, both Richard and Travis have combined their passion for Country-Rock music and forming it into their own unique style of original music. When selecting a band name, the pair settled on the name “Chasing Anthems” based on the groups anthemic style choruses heard in many of their original songs. Their music can be streamed on all major streaming platforms, as well as heard on regional and streaming radio stations. Chasing Anthems has performed up and down the west coast, as well as Nashville, Tennessee, headlining at various casino, events and festivals.

I’ve watched lots of ‘first time reaction videos’, your Sir was a pleasure…no stopping and talking the video every 30 seconds like other people. You watched then commented, will definitely subscribe and watch more of your stuff, thanks once again.
I dont think there is a way to determine who is the greatest guitarist of all time, but I am certain that if there were a way, it would show Rory as that. Some may have been faster, some more innovative, some more experimental, some more accurate - but he was the TOTAL PACKAGE. There was nothing he couldnt do well. He played hard and fast, he played soft and slow, and everywhere in between. He played all genres: rock, blues, country, folk, classical, and blends of them all. He wrote incredible riffs and songs. He was accomplished on several instruments. And most importantly, he always gave all he had both to the music and to his adoring fans. His character and personality were also exemplary, and surely no one as talented as him was ever as humble as him.
Singer and bass player: Jack Bruce (cream), Fab Paul Macca (Beatles) try "Rain" for epic bass), Sting (Police), Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy). There are many other great bass players, but they don't sing (and no-doubt in my hurry to comment I've forgotten somebody obvious who does).
I'm not at all a fan of this kind music ... but I'm more than impressed and most definitely enjoyed this one. Good music is good music period ... music without borders.
I read his bio (and bought all his early albums when they came out!) and this guitar at the end has all those knobs cause he hated pedals! Had everything put right into the guitar! He had giant hands, so he tuned to open tunings, and used one finger to cover the whole neck...on early songs like "Who Do You Love," the lead intro was by Jody Williams, an incredible player! [Jody got sick of being ripped off by the music biz, and worked at Xerox for about 25 years - quit music by the 1960s...too bad!] Hail Bo Diddley!
Country guitarist with nothing to say about these 3. Typical. You had no idea what you were witnessing and probably still don't. You've got nothing to bring to the table just like 99% of the the country, pop, and rock guitarists out there. Yet you guys think that the stuff you play is great. It ain't. All of you have got heads way bigger than your talent. I cringe when I watch a country, pop, rock guy perform and the crowd goes wild. Nothing but posers and the audiences are ignorant. So. Nothing to say. I expected as much.
Led Zep wasn't around then. They only got together for the first time in late 1968. This and other bands like Blue Cheer started heavy rock. Bands like Mountain and Zep continued with it into the 70's.
