Chase Rice is the type of singer-songwriter who doesn’t onlytake every risk he encounters

but has a pull-no-punches attitudetoward performing for crowds.

“You’re gonna to be mine and I’mgonna be yours for an hour and ahalf,” Rice says, “We’re gonna be ineach other’s face.”

Rice’s 2013 EP “Ready, Set, Roll” wasreleased while the singer didn’t havea mainstream song on country radio,but still debuted at the Top of theiTunes Country Charts. It’s titulartrack, Rice’s first single, climbed theBillboard Charts and was certifiedGold before it made it into the Top 20.“Ready, Set, Roll” ended up peakingin the Top 5 and the song was certi-fied Platinum.

Rice however doesn’t view that as agood enough accomplishment as

other artists might. The 29-year-oldfollowed the EP with his LP “Ignitethe Night” to prove that his biggestaccomplishments are still coming.

“Ignite the Night” includes the hitsingle “Gonna Wanna Tonight,” pre-vious single “Ready, Set, Roll” andother songs that illustrate the song-writer’s prowess at writing differentgenres including racy “Ride,” countryrock song “50 Shades of Crazy,” andblues-meets-hip-hop “Do It LikeThis”.

Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, andthe Highway Outlaws (WaylonJennings, Willie Nelson and JohnnyCash) heavily influenced Rice, aFlorida native, in not only musicalstyle but also in his approach to hislive shows.

Rice’s shows have been describedas an “Adrenaline shot of energy” and

Rice wants people to feel that rush athis concerts.

“I’m looking for people who arelooking to have the best night of theirentire life,” Rice says, “If you aren’there to party, I’m gonna make youparty!”

Rice will be performing live at theWayne County Fair during its andFroggy 101’s fourth annualGrandstand country concert, co-sponsored by Grimm Construction,Inc. and Pioneer ConstructionCompany, Inc., on Tuesday, August11 at 8 p.m.

The gift of life for Bryce

Neversink youth, 8, gets heart transplant

BY JEANNE SAGER

NEVERSINK — The Tues-

day night when life changed

for the Rogerson family was

just like any other.

With a planned two-hour

delay for the Tri-Valley

School District the next day,

8-year-old Bryce and 5-year-

old Bryan had been given a

pass to stay up late and watch

a movie together. Sixteen-

year-old Emily was doing

what teenagers do on a

school night. Dad Brian was

on a hunting trip in Alabama,

so mom Nicole was snuggling

in bed, watching TV by her-

self. And then the phone rang.

It was a pediatric nurse

familiar with little Bryce’s

congenital heart condition.

After nearly three years on

the transplant list, there was

a heart waiting for Bryce.

“I said ‘Are you kidding

me?’ ” Nicole recalls. “I was

literally skipping up and

down the hallway!”

It was a call the Rogersons

weren’t sure would ever

come. Bryce was diagnosed

with hypoplastic left heart

syndrome (HLHS) before he

was even born, after a routine

ultrasound at 18 weeks

picked up an anomaly.

HLHS – a syndrome in which

the left side of a child's heart

was underdeveloped – is one

of the three most common

heart issues a child can be

born with, but it can be fatal

if left untreated.

To increase the Bryce’s

chances, Nicole underwent

in utero surgery at just 26

weeks pregnant to open up a

hole in his heart to allow

blood to flow properly and

help him develop in the

womb. Ten days after he was

born in February 2005, Bryce

underwent his first open

heart surgery. At 8 months, he

had another, and in October

of 2008, a third open heart

surgery.

But in 2010 came a devas-

tating diagnosis. Bryce had

developed plastic bronchitis,

a condition of the lungs most

common in cystic fibrosis

patients. Rubbery chunks of

mucus had begun develop-

ing in his lungs, making him

struggle to breathe. Although

the issue presents itself in the

lungs, doctors put the blame

on his heart, which pumps

oxygenated blood to the

lungs. By 2011, doctors told the

Rogersons their best choice

would be to put Bryce on the

transplant list – for a heart. A

new heart, they told them,

would take pressure off the

lungs and hopefully allow

them to heal themselves.

On March 25, 2011, Bryce

was added to the transplant

list with what’s known as 1B

status, the second from the

top. At the time, doctors told

the Rogersons that listing

him at 1A – the highest and

most needy status – would

require Bryce to wait in a hos-

pital for a heart to be found.

But with Bryce able to take

his medication at home, the

Rogersons opted to keep him

in Neversink, to allow him to

continue attending school

and be with his family.

They were told it would

take six months to a year to

find him a heart.

On June 25, 2013, more

than two years later, his heart

hadn’t come. The Rogersons

moved their son up to 1A sta-

tus, the top of the transplant

waiting list.

At that time, doctors had

changed their mind and said

Bryce could stay home and

wait. They told the Rogersons

it would probably be a month

or two until a heart was

found. It was almost seven months

until the call came.

That was January 14, the

night Nicole called a friend to

watch Bryan and packed her

other two kids into the car to

fly over the roads to Morgan

Stanley Children’s Hospital at

Columbia Presbyterian in

New York City. Bryce was cry-

ing, Nicole recalls, but his

biggest worry was “how am I

going to turn in my home-

work?” “I told him your teacher

isn’t going to worry about

your writing assignment.”

Husband Brian had just

arrived in Alabama for his

hunting trip and couldn’t find
