A performer for more than 35 years, Chuck Parker has filled many musical roles: heavy metal guitarist, singer/songwriter, jazz sideman, open mic host, filk circle regular, session player, and World’s Okayest Bassist™.
Chuck has been a regular on the con circuit for more than a decade, and he’s played ballrooms, biergartens, and backyards all over the country, both as a solo performer and as the bassist for wizard rock icons The Blibbering Humdingers. He plays slice-of-life, confessional geek tunes that are often kind of funny, and his lyrics have been called “sensitive”, “literate”, and “hard to sing…”
He is also a published poet, avid cyclist, spouse, father, and herder of cats, both figuratively and literally.
