Chuck did a terrific job in customizing the playlist and letting some guests strum their guitars and sing along. A lot of fun!

About
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 & 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.
