In the more than twenty years that Chuck has been involved with the music business, one of the most important things he has learned is that a good acoustic performer needs to be versatile. 
 
As one might judge from Chuck’s song list, he spent the first portion of his music career involved primarily with classic, progressive, and alternative rock bands. This influence is reflected in his repertoire, which includes many selections of these genres.  Chuck has also thought to include songs that are considered to be lighter and more acceptable to a more mature audience.  Consequently, his repertoire is amenable to a mixed audience whether gathered in a pub, restaurant, or private party.
 
What is probably Chuck’s most appealing quality is that he performs songs that are familiar but not often heard in an acoustic arrangement.  While in college, he often found ways to adapt modern or progressive rock songs to an acoustic setting.  It is really these selections that have become his “trademark”.  In many of the places where Chuck performs regularly these unusual songs, as well as his increasingly requested originals, have become very popular with the patrons.
