Charlie Recksieck, recording under the moniker of Chuck Charles, is a piano player whose original songs are most compared to Ben Folds, Warren Zevon and They Might Be Giants - or lovingly thought of as "the stupid man's Randy Newman".
He sings/plays/writes in The Bigfellas who are best known for their more humorous tunes such as "I Wish That I Were Gay", "4:20" and the world's only golf rap, "On The Green," all of which are on their schizophrenic debut CD, Chubbed Up.
His album "Hiya" was nominated for a 2021 San Diego Music Award.
Performing live, Chuck is a lot like Ben Folds or Randy Newman, playing piano originals and interesting covers, with allegedly comedic banter between songs.
