Chuck was inspired by the Beatles, who he saw in Chicago in 1966. He plays quite a few Beatles songs, including popular hits
like She Loves You, All You Need Is Love, and Yesterday; Romantic love songs like Till There Was You, I Will, and In My Life; and
fun rockers such as I Am The Walrus, A Day In the Life, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Chuck also plays a large selection of Paul Simon songs, such as Sounds of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and Me & Julio.
Other artists Chuck covers include Cat Stevens, John Prine, Michael Franks, Elvis Costello, David Bowie, and Fats Waller. He can
pull off Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by The Police, or Gershwin's It Ain't Necessarily So.

July 13th, Saturday, 6 p.m. - The Holmes Shea Band.
People always ask, "What kind of music do you play?"  
This is a hard question for songwriters who relish exploring diverse sounds and genres. Much of the material is rock-based but
generally with an infusion of funk, r&b, and/or latin involved. Some of the tunes lean towardjazz, others toward a dreamy fusion
feel. We've had people say the music reminds them of Bonnie Raitt, Santana and even Flora Purim. Best way to know is to get
the CD and listen! But you can preview all the tunes from our latest CD  on our site. Then be a champ and support live music by
coming to a gig!
