Tim Chewning first performed in his new capacity as Ricochet's drummer on Wednesday, August 11, 1999 in Rifle, Colorado.



Tim Chewning was no stranger to the stage or the road. He had already played drums for John Michael Montgomery, Kathy Mattea and the Elektra/Asylum rock group the Shaking Family.
