Being the kin of the late great king of country & western swing music from the 1930’s & 1940’s SPADE COOLEY , it seems the apple’s don’t fall far from the tree. Surviving 2 o.d.’s , & living umpteenth life times on & off the street’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 ,,You’d think that this 3 time loser to the Texas and Oklahoma Department of Correction’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 demon’s of addiction that the needle and it’s drug’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 song’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 year’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. Chuk Cooley’s Tattude Temple is in the middle of recording it’s first full length cd titled “Heart & Soul Anthem’s from the Street’s of Hellâ€. With the EP’s “ Takin’ Down Demon’s†& “Addicted to Self Destruction†behind him he now ventures further on with a whole new acoustic southern rock/bluesy sound.
