Charlie Cheney

Bio:

Hi, this myspace.com/charliecheney page had thousands of friends and over 10,000 plays and then it got deleted, then someone in Russia stole it, then myspace gave it back.

Hi, I'm Charlie. I'm a performing songwriter. Jackson Browne told me "I love your stuff, it's wonderfully delirious." Pat MacDonald said "I love your really sad songs and your really funny songs." The Capital Times called me "[a] gritty troubadour." Paulie Ryan (Garbage) told me "You're the best songwriter I know, your CD makes me laugh and cry both." Jonathan Spottiswoode wrote "I have now hereby patented the adjective 'charlie cheneyesque' to describe off-beat, dead honest, wacky, and beautifully eery songs."

Since June 2007, songs I've written have been selected for the SteelBridge Songfest compilation CD, the St. John Songfest compilation CD, and the February Album Writing Month compilation CD... and now another is slated for the upcoming SB4 CD this June. all the songs were written and recorded during those festivals and selected on merit, none of the CDs were "pay-for-play."

I released a solo CD "Giant Chicken" (available on iTunes or by mail) in late 2006 and am planning a new CD for 2008. I'm currently booking spring, summer, and fall tours to the east and west.
