Outstanding performance!

I recently hired Chuck for my company event, and he exceeded all my expectations. The setlist was perfect and he was an incredible professional throughout the entire event, Many of my guests commented on how fantastic his music was and how much they enjoyed the performance. He was also very easy to work with, and very responsive to my request making the whole process seamless and enjoyable.

I highly recommend Chuck for any event, I look forward to having him perform again in the future.

Fantastic entertainer

We had the pleasure of having Chuck play for our Hawaiian night dinner, and it couldn’t have been better! The music was absolutely perfect — a fantastic mix of Hawaiian-inspired tunes and Jimmy Buffett-style favorites that set the tone for a fun and relaxing evening. Not only is Chuck incredibly talented, but also a true professional — so easy and wonderful to work with. Highly recommend if you’re looking to elevate your event with great music and great vibes!

Chuck is a total pro

Chuck delivered a great performance at my wife's 40th bday. He was extremely well organized and adaptable, with a good playlist and also learned several new songs for the event. His AV setup was great, and he was very easy to work and communicate with.

About

Please also check out my other "5-star" reviews at my Florida GigSalad Account

Classically trained on the violin from the age of eight, Chuck played in various orchestras and community groups for several years.

He toured England and Scotland with the Central Connecticut State University Orchestra in 1989. Then guitar and keys became his

instruments of choice for a decade or so. Performing professionally in wedding bands, rock, funk and original groups, Chuck

continued to gain experience throughout the New England area. In Desperado, the Authentic Eagles Tribute Band, he managed,

booked, and performed continuously for 2 years. As a sought after rhythm and lead player, he cut an album with Mr. OCD in 1998 before relocating to the Carolinas in 2000.

After playing lead guitar in a couple of local Charlotte rock and funk bands, he began to enjoy the roots of his musical development, by playing fiddle full-time. Chuck joined Two Step, a Dave Matthews Tribute Band, touring throughout the Southeast from 2003 to 2005. He expanded his classical roots into the jazz and fiddle styles that have become a distinct sound that folks enjoy today.

Currently, Chuck is a full-time high school math teacher by day, private instructor in the afternoons and solo “adult contemporary” hit juke box in the evenings. Please contact Chuck for booking information and more details on how he can provide all of your musical entertainment needs from beginning to end. Acoustic solo, duo or trio instrumentation. Full wedding band capabilities with DJ style music of your choice during breaks. Solo classical or contemporary violin for tasteful ceremony music too!

Additional booking notes

In order to get the correct mix of sound and provide a top-notched performance, I typically arrives at least one hour prior to the start time for set up. When booking, please advise if this is a problem or issue.

For solo or duo acoustic bookings, a single power source should be available within a reasonable distance from the stage area. Ten feet is optimal, however, extension cords will work and the distance should be discussed beforehand so that I am prepared to reach the power source.

Influences and inspiration

I enjoy all styles of music, therefore my influences are wide and varied. In my younger year, guitarists who guided my interests were; Neal Schon(Journey), Eddie Van Halen, Prince, Steve Lukather(Toto) and Darryl Stuermer(Phil Collins/Genesis). More recently, I have been influenced by many Country and folk artists to enhance my acoustic guitar skills.
On violin, my favorite composers were Mozart and Vivaldi. More recently, I have admired Jimmy DeMartini(Zac Brown Band) for his flawless precision and tonal accuracy in all genres of fiddle/jazz violin styles. Of course, Charlie Daniels and many classic country violinist have helped me learn the style of fiddle playing too.
