About Me

Chuck is a performing songwriter, musician, band member from Dayton, OH. He has been playing since grade school, and in area bands since High School. He is a member of the Dayton/Cincinnati NSAI workshop, Tunesmith, and works to help others as best he can. He makes regular trips to Nashville, and is accepted in several musical communities there. Chuck is working to develop long term relationships with writers, publishers, and other music industry professionals, and is grateful for all of his friends and acquaintances. Chuck writes mostly for the Country market, but also enjoys working on Pop/Rock, and Gospel / Christian music as well. Chuck is sometimes thought of as a Jack of all trades, and master of many. He has a lot of varied experience, and enjoys helping others if they get "stuck" with a problem. His Band website is www.countryfriedband.com and he also plays with a few other bands in the area, and sometimes with a few Nashville bands and groups. Music is something that flows through him, and sometimes he is lucky and "magic" happens. He is also very active in "Masonry" and is a Past Master of his Lodge, Past Patron Order of the Eastern Star, Scottish and York Rite 32nd degree, and a Shriner.
