Chuck
Chuck and his wife Gigi have a business called Music Lingua, which teaches foreign languages to young children, primarily through music. Most of the music is original, and Chuck does it all himself. Well...OK, the kids and women singing in different languages are not him, but most of the MUSIC is...
MUSICAL INFLUENCES |
Although well traveled, Chuck is a Montana native, born in Choteau and raised
by wolves on the east slopes of Glacier National Park
on the Blackfoot Indian Reservation. His career as a performer is a little
sporadic: as a child he once sang on stage with Don Ho in Hawaii, but
insists it did no lasting damage (although he admits to still owning and playing a
ukulele). In the early '80s he spent a few years in the Flathead Valley, singing and playing lead
guitar in a rock band. After moving to Bozeman to finish school, however, he returned to his acoustic
roots. He was only recently dragged back out of the closet, kicking
and screaming (or was that him singing?) to perform in public again.
In addition to lending his vocals to the DupliKates, he plays guitar,
mandolin, banjo and harmonica.
