CHUCK BRODSKY

The start of the 2010 season of Tree House Concerts begins with a stolen moment with storyteller and baseball balladeer, Chuck Brodsky. Funny, smart and heartfelt, Chuck combines storytelling and songwriting to absolute perfection, and we're lucky to have him come through our town, much less our living room.

We've known of Chuck since 1998, but it was Tree House Concerts regular (and historian!) Vince Lewis who vacationed with Chuck in Ireland in 2009 and mentioned our little house concert series. We got a postcard in the mail and the rest is history!

LISTEN

Chuck's web site has samples from his eight albums. Favorites include "Talk To My Lawyer" off Letters in the Dirt and "The Come Heres and the Been Heres" off Radio. Both are also on the live album, Two Sets.

YouTube has a live in-studio performance of "Letters in the Dirt".

SHOW - 3 p.m.

The show will begin in our house at 3 p.m. It will be cosy and warm inside an otherwise dreary, overcast or rainy day in January, right?

POTLUCK - 5:30 p.m.

Mention in your RSVP Comment what you'll bring; stick to salads, rice or veggies. We'll slow-cook some carnitas for table tacos.

Otherwise, bring your own spirits, dessert to share and smiles!

INTERVIEW - 6:30 p.m.

I will set up my laptop and microphone for an interview with Chuck Brodsky (and maybe an encore performance!), which I will then upload as a podcast, for everyone to hear.
