Plastic Welcome Mat

Released in late 2002 the Plastic Welcome Mat EP is just a taste of what Choptank has to offer on stage. The five tracks carefully selected from the bands arsenal of original material explore all the different styles of Choptank.

The opening track Mistaken is the funk the whole funk and nothing but the funk. Inspired by the great funksters of the early 70's this track will get you on your feet.

Satellite is journey back to better times for better living. The nostalgic feel of this jazzy tune is sure to take you back.

Deep Water is a Choptank tribute to the blues. Showcasing the incredible harmonica skills of Marvin "Harps"Dolinger.

Grey Angel inspired by a conversation Chad had with a Russian artist soon after the fall of communism is an introspective take on the times. This track has become fan favorite.

Written as a tribute to the late great Ella Fitzgerald. Skat as the name implies showcases Chads ability to use his voice as a key instrument. Buy it at the CD Baby web site or Itunes
