Chuck Jackson
Bass/Guitar
Bassist, guitarist, educator, began his career spanning 34 years in elementary school starting with trumpet and then the saxophone. By middle school his interest turned to the lower end of the band as he started playing baritone and bass clarinet. Around this time guitar fever struck and he began studying the new instrument.
As the local demand for bass players outweighed the need for guitarists, he switched again to the low end, and bass guitar became his primary instrument. By his mid teens, he began playing live in local cover and original bands performing a wide variety of musical styles including hard rock, blues, rock-a-billy, country, and R&B. Over the course of the next 15 years Chuck began performing with several different artists touring across the US.
Along with performing live, he has spent countless hours in the studio as a session player, recording, producing and training. Chuck’s passion for music and teaching is contagious. Kids of all ages love to work with him.
