Chuck Brown
A 30-year veteran of the Texas music scene, Chuck has been spotted at close to a dozen musical events over the decades; including shows by such illustrious artists as Prince, Rush, Tool and Leo Kottke. Witnesses described his behavior as “odd”, “rhythmically chaotic” and “majestic”. He started playing bass after being late to his first high school band meeting to find every other instrument had already been taken. His relationship with the instrument was once described by Chuck as “tragically co-dependent”. He also loves peach tea.
