Chas Burtchett has a special reason for singing. He began writing songs at an early age, inspired by his sister who has autism. Many of his songs are about very personal, real-life events and things you can probably relate to as well- that's why Chas plays Country music.

Check out more on his YouTube channel and live in-studio performances by Chas Burtchett in our Kalamazoo Country studios for our local music show Sound Check.

Bonus Video: "Perceptions"

"Perceptions" is the song that has been raising awareness of autism, featuring American Idol contestant Taylor Walls.

Do you know of a band we ought to have on the show?
