Chuck Land Jr. has always been a music freak ever since he started playing the drums at the age of 5. Being the son of a Preacher, he was raised in a Pentecostal Church,where he played spiritual filled music until the age of 16. At the age of 12, he began to play piano and guitar. After playing drums and keyboards for a number of bands, Chuck finally started his own project just three years ago. The Chuck Land Band is influenced by many genres, but mostly Classic Funk, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, and Psychedelic Rock and many other styles. He can also be seen playing part-time with
Working Class Villain. On a National Level, Chuck has often been a freelance musician, playing concerts with Shirley King (one of B.B's many daughters)and Chris Beard which is nicknamed "The Prince of the Blues" and a few others. After living in Cincinnati for 25 years, Chuck relocated to Lexington, KY where he played and recorded with many Blues/Classic Rock Bands such as G-Busy & the Blues Revue, The Stella Vees, The Jive Turkeys, Patty Butcher and many more. When he moved back to Cincinnati in 2004, he formed a Production Company Landman Productons, Chuck began doing studio work and producing Music Documentaries.
Holding down the Bass duties is Ian Krug. Ian is the newest member of the Band.
Josh Natterman, aka Dr. Time, does a great job holding down the beat being the guy that hangs out with musicians, the Drummer! Ha! Josh is a really cool guy that grew up playing mostly Spirit Filled Music in the Church Setting.
In 2007, Santtu and Jamie joined the band. Santtu is a very talented saxophonist, and Jamie does a great job holding down the Drum Set/Percussion duties. He is also a member of The Vernon Manor Project, adds a lot of colors with his combination of percussion instruments. It is a pleasure to have both of them in the band. The band likes to keep themselves, and the audience on their toes by having very talented special guests perform with them all the time. Part time musicians consist of John Redell view John's Promo Video that I produced. If you want to see a band that gives you all their heart and soul, then come out the Chuck Land Band or any of the bands mentioned above!
