Chuck Brodsky is a storyteller, a songwriter, a troubador, a modern day bard. His wit and irony, down-to-earth warmth, and quirky, rootsy, finely crafted songs, tell stories of oddball and underdog characters. His songs celebrate the goodness in people, the eccentric, the holy, the profound, the courageous, the inspiring, the beautiful. They poke fun at what needs poking, and sometimes challenge what needs to be challenged. They’re sworn to tell the truth. Over the past 23 years Chuck has performed at festivals and in concerts all across the USA, Canada, Ireland, Denmark, England, Israel, Lithuania, Latvia, Wales, and the Shetland Islands of Scotland. He’s performed three times at the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and 18 of his Baseball story songs have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame’s sound recording library.
 Born and raised in Philadelphia, a very young Chuck fell in love with the piano and despite taking lessons, still managed to teach himself to play. Years later, at university orientation, gazing out the window he was held spellbound by two guys playing guitars. Chuck dropped out, bought a guitar, and enrolled in the school of life. After hitch-hiking to San Francisco Chuck spent a few years singing for tips on the streets of Europe, then worked picking fruit back in the USA. He started singing in coffeehouses throughout the San Francisco area in the late 1980’s. Chuck and his songs have appeared in several films and on tv. The Philadelphia Phillies featured an interview with him and his song “Whitey & Harry” in the documentary “Richie Ashburn: A Baseball Life.” The 2003 Sony Pictures release “Radio” included a cameo by Chuck as well as his closing title track. “Moe Berg: The Song” is featured in the PBS film “Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story” (2010). Kathy Mattea’s recording of his song “We Are Each Other’s Angels” is in the film “Dear Mr. Goodlife” (1998). “Blow ‘em Away” has been recorded by David Wilcox and many others, and also appears on the Christine Lavin produced “Laugh Tracks.” Having received world wide acclaim for his nine previous albums, Chuck’s 10th and most recent release “The Baseball Ballads 2” made Mojo music magazine’s Top Ten Folk CDs of 2014. Four of Chuck’s early CDs were produced in Atlanta by Sugarland’s Kristian Bush, while four of his more recent CDs were produced in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, by J.P. Cormier. His March 2015 release, Tell Tale Heart, is self-produced and is being recorded in Asheville NC.
