On June 20, 2016, Metcalfe reprises his role as investigative reporter Chase Carter in the sequel Dead Rising: Endgame.[22] Metcalfe currently stars as Trace Riley in Hallmark Channel's series Chesapeake Shores alongside Meghan Ory. The show premiered August 14, 2016.[23] In addition to playing the character Trace, Metcalfe performs and composes some of the songs used in the series' episodes.[24] He played the role of officer Holder and Dylan Holder in the drama film Destined.[25]
He is an established actor, a capable guitarist, and a piano player who also likes to dabble in songwriting. He has even composed some of the songs that play in his latest venture, the romantic drama series on Hallmark Channel, Chesapeake Shores.
In addition to the drama, the film boosts an original soundtrack courtesy of Metcalfe's guitar talents. "I've been playing guitar and singing and writing music for ten years," the actor told Pop Culture Principle, adding that he's also provided original songs for "Chesapeake Shores" as well.
And I learn those songs and kind of do my take on the songs, my rendition of those songs. And hopefully, there'll be a lot of music in season five, but I mean, that aspect of the show is not really under my control.
So I hope we continue to do that, and I don't see any reason why we wouldn't, but that's a surprise for me as well. But we always get great songs. I mean, people are constantly reaching out to me over social media, asking me where they can get these songs.
But these other songs, I really have been pushing our producers and mostly our producers really; I think the Hallmark Network is game, and the executives over there are game to do a soundtrack, but that really has yet to come to fruition.
Metcalfe: At the risk of sounding cliched, I have been playing and singing and writing music for a decade now. It was just something I always kept to myself. ... But this is a nice opportunity, and I wrote two original songs to the themes and the tone of the show. It's not necessarily the style in which I normally write (indie singer-songwriter). ... But I get to live out my dream a bit and be a successful country music artist in the series.
MIT's 132nd Commencement exercises, attended by about 10,000 people, may have been the longest in MIT history as well. Family, friends, faculty, staff and local, national and White House press began arriving more than four hours before the midmorning event. They were entertained first by recorded music, including songs by the MIT student a capella group the Chorallaries, then by the Boston Brass Ensemble conducted by John Corley.
