Product Description Recorded in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and produced by J.P. Cormier, "Tulips For Lunch" picks up where their previous collaboration, "Color Came One Day" leaves off. Once again J.P. adds his world class musicianship and producer's talents to Chuck's colorful songs. About the Artist Chuck Brodsky has toured extensively throughout the US, Canada, and Ireland for 14 years and has performed at festivals all over the world, including Tønder in Denmark, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Calgary, Shetland Islands, Kerrville, Philadelphia, and Strawberry, as well as the Lincoln Center Out of Door series in New York, among others. He’s performed three concerts at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and had a cameo part alongside his song in the movie, Radio. He’s appeared on nationally syndicated radio programs Mountain Stage, Acoustic Cafe, and River City Folk, and his songs are fixtures on the Dr. Demento show. His tune “Blow ‘em Away” was selected by Christine Lavin for Shanachie’s 1996 “Laugh Tracks” album, while other songs have been recorded by Kathy Mattea, David Wilcox, Sara Hickman, Chuck Pyle, and many others. This down to earth musical storyteller, with his dry, barb-witted social commentary combined with a deep underlying compassion, infuses his songs with humanity and humor, making them resonate profoundly with his listeners. With spoken introductions as spellbinding as the songs themselves, his well-travelled voice brings storiesto life with a delivery both natural and conversational. His strumming and fingerpicking draw on different good old traditional folk stuff of all kinds. Chuck’s songwriting pokes fun at political corruption, hypocrisy, frauds, and liars; telling truths that need to be told. He sings about unsung heroes and forgotten but incredible people: Odd characters from the game of baseball, migrant fruit pickers, the Goat Man, a clown, a roadside peach vendor, the man who blew kisses, the rural doctor who brought electricity to the mountains...and he sings the “strange but true” type of stories such as the public hanging of a a circus elephant, Santa getting pelted by snowballs at a football game in Philly, or the one and only unsolved skyjacking in aviation history. Chuck’s debut album, A Fingerpainter’s Murals, (1995) was a critical favorite with its collection of vividly rendered stories. In 1996, Chuck signed with Red House Records and released Letters in the Dirt. The album earned raves, and his 1998 release, Radio, was even more widely acclaimed for its great stabs at our laughable culture. Last of the Old Time, Chuck’s third album for Red House was released in 2000, and further cemented his reputation for telling it like it is. In 2002 Chuck released The Baseball Ballads, which Tim Wiles, Director of Research at The National Baseball Hall of Fame calls “a new chapter in the folklore of our national pastime.” Color Came One Day, produced by JP Cormier, was recorded in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and was released in 2004. Arthur Wood of Folkwax wrote, “I humbly assign this recording a FolkWax rating "10" out of "10," only because I can't award an "11."
