"The music does exactly what it is suppose to do.....It reaches emotions in the listener. It gives words to feelings we all share and provokes thought long after the CD is over. His style is unique yet it feels familiar. One of my favorites in my collection"! Kelly Anne Tearney, KXFM
Chuck Williams has been appearing throughout New England.......his music could be defined as Americana, but not in the Old Glory sense of the word, though it conveys the spirit of an America that existed in days gone by. It has some of the same energies of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, CSN and definitely Neil Young, while not sounding like any of them. There is something here that a lot of people are going to latch on to, especially in these trying times.
Chuck has performed at venues such as the Hampton Beach Pavilion in New Hampshire, Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis, MA, Katherine Cornell Theatre on Martha's Vineyard, the Narrow's Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA, Guthrie Center in Gt. Barrington, MA, Steve's Backstage Pass, Taunton, MA , the Nameless Coffeehouse in Cambridge, MA as was well as numerous coffeehouses throughout the Northeast.
Chuck has had the pleasure of opening for national touring artists such as Cheryl Wheeler, Kelly Joe Phelps, Rod McDonald, John Young Band and Claude Bourbon. .
Chuck is a member of R.I.S.A. (Rhode Island Songwriters Association) A.S.C.A.P. and Veterans for Peace.
Tracks from 'Smart Too Late, Old Too Soon' can now be heard on the following stations WTBY, WUMD, WRUI, WBCR, WOMR, WERS, WPYX, WATD, WGBH, WMVY. You may also catch his tunes on www.wholewheatradio.com , www.mvyradio.com , and www.live365.com amd www.musictogousa.com, www.bishopfm.com

Chuck, I checked out your songs, you've got a nice style! We grew up on the same music. As for me, I'm a life long west coaster. I'm in Nashville quite a bit, so if we've crossed paths that might be it. All the best with your music.... Take Care, Larry

I am about half way done with my latest update to my page. Take a peek and listen to the first five songs from my up and comming cd. Right now the release date is in December.
A new feature is you can post your favorite song on your web page!
My new theme is about fall, with the songs having a sence of wanderlust and rambling on.
I hope you enjoy my pictures, and you will return to my page when it's completed. I'm currently recording the other five songs and putting together the final touches.
I hope you will take the time to listen, check out my pictures and (please, please, please) post a comment about your favorite song from my playlist.
I hope you are having a nice fall and take care. I hope to hear from you soon.
