"...sensitive, introspective...inspired." -NY Times

Chuck E. is a fresh voice delivering an interesting mix of unique, intimate and honest songs. He draws on a range of influences to create music that defies common labels like "folk-pop." Chuck's songwriting explores subtle yet significant themes with the tacit goal of challenging his audiences to think (or re-think) about what is often taken for granted and his honest enthusiasm continually permeates audiences at each live performance. His powerful and sincere vocals (comparisons range from Jonathan Edwards to Michael Stipe) and acoustic guitar delivery seamlessly complement the lyrical content of the songs. He has shared the stage with artists such as Rosanne Cash, Andrew Bird, Pete Seeger, the Weepies and Peter Case
