Chesapeake was an Americana band formed in 1994 in Bethesda, Maryland. Three of the four members of Chesapeake were members of the bluegrass band The Seldom Scene at the time, and eventually left the Scene to devote their energies to Chesapeake full time. Chesapeake was a difficult band to classify, as they pursued many musical styles, including bluegrass, progressive bluegrass, folk, folk-rock, country, rock music and more. Folk songwriters such as Tom Paxton and Steve Gillette influenced their music as well as well as rock performers like Van Morrison and Little Feat.
