Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Charles “Chip” Esten was raised in Alexandria, VA and attended T.C. Williams High School (made famous in the film “Remember the Titans.”) He then attended The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, where he graduated with a degree in economics and met his wife, Patty. While in Williamsburg, he was lead singer/songwriter in a popular local band.

Esten made his theatrical debut in London when he portrayed Buddy Holly, singing, acting and playing guitar in the hit West End musical “Buddy.” In that role he was honored to perform for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, and eventually President and Mrs. George H.W. Bush at The White House. He was also very honored to perform with Jerry Allison and Joe B. Mauldin, Buddy’s original hitmaking bandmates, the Crickets.

It was during his run as Buddy that Esten first appeared on the original British version of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?,” with Ryan Stiles and Greg Proops. When “Whose Line” came to ABC, he became a recurring cast member and frequent song improvisor. Since then he has appeared on Drew Carey’s Improvaganza and toured frequently, performing live improv shows with Stiles, Proops and Jeff B. Davis. 

Esten’s many early television credits include recurring roles on “Big Love,” “Enlightened,” “The Office” and “ER.” Besides being the father on Disney Channel’s “Jessie,” he has been a Klingon on “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” a secretary on “Murphy Brown” and Kelly Bundy’s fiance on the series finale of “Married with Children.” His film credits include “Swing Vote,” “Thirteen Days,” “61*” and “The Postman.”

His most recent single “Sweet Summer Saturday Night” was released in August 2020.  He continues to write and record music with over 9.5 million streams to date, earning a Guinness World Record in 2017 for releasing 54 original songs (available on iTunes, and on Spotify) once a week, for 54 consecutive weeks.

Charles is an active Musicians On Call board member and volunteer, regularly performing for patients and caregivers in hospitals, hospice centers, and VA facilities. With live performances being mostly cancelled in 2020, the singer-songwriter, actor and performer has instead performed a regular online Quarantine Live Stream concert to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, where he has served as an honorary spokesperson for the past 8 years. 

Music isn’t what Alyssa Trahan does, it’s who she is. As a young child, she began writing songs in her head, unaware of what she was truly doing. She soon asked her father, who played guitar around the house often, to teach her guitar and it all snowballed from there. She began writing songs on guitar, piano, and any instrument she could get her hands on. Not long after, she learned about Nashville, TN, and her mind was made up - someday, she would call Nashville home. 

In her teens, Alyssa began performing in local coffee shops and bars as well as recording her original music in several local recording studios in and around her hometown of East Rochester, NY. After a negative experience in one studio, Alyssa became interested in tackling music production. She began learning how to work recording programs and produce her own music through the help of online tutorials and countless hours of work. In a short amount of time, Alyssa was producing full studio-quality tracks as just a teenager. And according to several music industry professionals, her work rivaled that of many recording studios in her area. 

As she got older, Alyssa honed her craft when it came to both songwriting and production. She learned to play over a dozen instruments, graduated with her degree in Audio Recording, and made the move to Nashville, TN in 2016, signing her first publishing deal after just two years in town. She continued to write, produce, and release her own music as an artist and experienced great success doing so with over a million combined streams, music on radio stations across the country as well as platforms like CMT, and a top ten spot on the iTunes album chart with the release of her award-winning full-length album “Baby Blues & Stilettos”. Plus, she has performed consistently and has opened for names such as Jake Owen, Morgan Wallen, Josh Turner, Chase Rice, Tanya Tucker, Russell Dickerson, Maddie & Tae, Lee Greenwood, Sara Evans, and so many more. 

The last few years have seen budding success for Alyssa as a songwriter and producer. She is credited as a writer on over 20 commercially released songs and is currently producing multiple artists ranging in genres - from country to pop to rock. Plus, she has had placements on The Jimmy Kimmel Show, The Young and the Restless, and many independent films. 

Alyssa has quickly become known for her polished production work, impressive musicianship, and top-tier songwriting, but this is only the beginning. As American Songwriter put it, “It’s not that Alyssa Trahan wants to take over country music. Just know that if it ever comes to that, Trahan is a woman who can literally run the show.”
