After helping front the Lost Boys for many years Chuck has spent the last few years playing with Joe D’Urso and Stone Caravan, Stir Fried, The Mill River Band and Chuck's all original band, TYRONE SHOELACES featuring Jimmy Bennett. Chuck released his first CD, Walking Back From Heaven in 1995 and his next CD TYRONE SHOELACES was released this past spring. Recent musical highlights include Chuck alongside Bruce Springsteen during a rousing rendition of Santa Claus is Coming to Town at the Annual Light of Day Benefit in Sayreville NJ. Jamming a set with NRPS in Willimasport, PA, and playing with Levon Helm during Levon's recovery from throat cancer as well as with Rick Danko at his last show. With all that name dropping chuck still enjoys playing the music he loves best- Tyrone Shoelaces all though Jerry Garcia Band Tunes are a very close second!!! Chuck plays a custom Hammond B3 built by Paul Studor of Organ Service Company of NJ and a 142 Leslie built by Goff Professional. A Korg Stage Piano, Hohner Accordion, Nord Electro-Mechanical 72, Gibson Mandolin, Hohner Melodica and a Mackie Monitoring System rounds out the rig.
