Rick Chavez, best known as guitarist and founding member of the rock band Drive. Originally from Houston, the band came together when its members were barely out of high school and soon after moved to Los Angeles. They quickly made a name for themselves on the streets of Hollywood and the Sunset Strip and landed a spot on the “KNAC Pure Rock Best of the West Compilation” with a song penned by Chavez titled “I Need the Nights.” Soon after label offers started coming and the band inked a deal with Rampage Records. Their debut album “Characters in Time” received tremendous reviews from the industry’s top rock press.
