Chuck Brodsky
Wednesday, February 1, 2006
old fashioned story songs brimming with wit and compassion.
Door 7:30 P.M., Music 8:00 P.M. | Purchase advance tickets: $17.50

Based in Asheville, North Carolina, Chuck Brodsky perfected his compassionate songwriting, groove-oriented guitar playing, soulful singing, and dry, barb-witted style of social commentary while living in Berkeley and performing on the Freight stage in the 1980s.

Chuck's arresting songs are full of memorable characters and vividly rendered stories of life's struggles, defeats and rare victories. His latest album, Color Came One Day, provides a choice collection of carefully observed stories about previously unsung American heroes in locales as far-flung as a Nova Scotia graveyard, a village pub in Ireland, and a Texas ranch.

And in concert, he's sure to pitch in a few of the tunes that gained him the National Baseball Hall of Fame's recognition as "Baseball's troubadour poet laureate," songs that unite Chuck's musical gifts with his intense love for baseball history and culture.
