Chuck Parker

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 nerdmusik 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 a herder of cats, both figuratively and literally.

His music may be found at chuckparker.bandcamp.com, and his musings at chuck-parker.net.

Re: The Music of Jonathan Coulton

Alex Taylor first picked up a guitar at age 13, and by 20, he was touring the world—playing everywhere from local bars to cruise ships. He has shared the stage with a range of musicians, from local talents to internationally acclaimed artists such as Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Taj Mahal. In the convention world, he was a founding member of Paradox Machine and has served as a technical director and sound engineer for numerous conventions, including RavenCon and ConVivial.

Steve Taylor holds a Master’s degree in Vocal Performance and has been performing worldwide since the 1970s. A former Guinness World Record holder for the most performances of Handel’s Messiah, he has appeared at Carnegie Hall, performed at Disney alongside Rock Hudson, and collaborated with many other renowned artists.

Together, this father/son duo makes up the cover band, Re: The Music of Jonathan Coulton and continues rocking the convention circuit.
