About Me

Being the kin of the late great king of country & western swing music from the 1930â€™s & 1940â€™s SPADE COOLEY , it seems the appleâ€™s donâ€™t fall far from the tree.Surviving 3 o.d.â€™s , 2 heart attackâ€™s, & living umpteenth life times on & off the streetâ€™s of Odessa & Dallas TX, to Tulsa Okla. Running the country side on a motorcycle at the early age of 15 bouncing from house to abandon building's to sleeping under bridges ,,Youâ€™d think that this 3 time loser to the Texas and Oklahoma Department of Correctionâ€™s would of gave up by now. Doing 8 years behind bars only gave Cooley a sense of awareness and education and where he learned to craft his gift of songwriting and also found himself in away that other's never fathom. Music is all Chuk Cooley has left in this world . Besides his 5 beautiful children (Who all also sing and play music). He found through songwriting freedom from the pain of life. FREEDOM to let go and be himself.. Through a wretched life time of fighting off the demonâ€™s of addiction that the needle and itâ€™s drugâ€™s bring. Through losing 2 families and several different career chances . At times losing all faith to alway's finding his gift of music standing in front of him there always seemed to be an acoustic guitar there when thing's was at it's most darkest. Since his early days of watching his dad Dallas Cooley play and write songâ€™s as he was growing up, too after he was in prison where he finally learned to play himself. Now being out of prison for 15 yearâ€™s, with several bands behind him that tried time and again to make it. He now gives all with his own words and music one final shot at this dream. He has longed to live, righting his wrongs with his story that he shares in hopes that others will find inspiring, as well as touching their souls. Chuk Cooley has played all over the United States, with the bands Berserkr,Two Doors Down, & Hellablack. With the EPâ€™s â€œ Takinâ€™ Down Demonâ€™sâ€ & â€œAddicted to Self Destructionâ€ behind him he now ventures further on with a whole new acoustic southern rock/bluesy sound.
