Musical Background

2007 was a year of changes, and re-discovered faith. Chuck has been influenced by many artists from the classical era and the period of progressive art rock music from the 70's and 80's. He has performned many showcases of not only original material with numerous bands, but also covers of some of the prog rock greats such as ELP, Yes, Kansas, Rush, Genesis, to name a few.

Although still keeping an open mind and availability for live performance, Chuck now concentrates mainly on once again writing and recording his own material.

Chuck's main instruments are Keyboards and Bass, although he also play drums and some guitar.......and yes.....Accordion too.

For those of you that have a driving curiosity about Chuck's history in music,

In the early 80's, Chuck also played keyboards for his cousins band GOLD in Jensen Beach when they were putting new material togehter for an up coming album. The songs never made it to vinyl, cassette, or cd, however these songs are in the archive and may someday be dusted off and recorded for a future project.

As a solo artist under the name SOC7, Chuck has recorded and produced the first of a 3-CD project of Electronic/Newage instrumental music. The first, titled "Mission: Critical", has been featured on several radio stations in the USA and around the world, and has received notable credits from music and art resources in the US and England. The second and third cd's are a work in progress have been delayed for several years due to work and family schedules. However, new life has found it's way into these projects, and God willing, there will be a draft available later in 2008.

Many people in Jacksonville are looking for a good Church home and family. The Bridge Family Worship Center has been a blessing to our family. If you feel like something is missing in your life and it is both troubling and weighs heavy on your heart, please visit The Bridge. The message is true, the music is wonderful, the people are friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and all glory goes to God.

Don, this is for you
