Biography from http://www.sonicbids.com/epk/epk.aspx?epk_id=123080 Chuck grew up in the low country of the South Carolina coast. His father and grand- father were both Pentecostal preachers, so his earliest musical influence was a unique strain of gospel music that was an amalgam of Appalachian folk and black spirituals. He started singing in church before he was five years old and it soon became clear that music would be the driving passion in his life.
