Chuck Brodsky is a storyteller, a songwriter, a troubadour, a modern day bard, and a long-time friend of mine. His wit and irony, down-to-earth warmth, and quirky, rootsy, finely crafted songs tell stories of oddball and underdog characters. His songs celebrate the goodness in people, the eccentric, the holy, the profound, the courageous, the inspiring, the beautiful. They poke fun at what needs poking and sometimes challenge what needs to be challenged. They’re sworn to tell the truth.

Over the past three decades, Chuck has performed at festivals and in concerts all across the USA, Canada, Ireland, Denmark, England, Israel, Lithuania, Latvia, Wales, and the Shetland Islands of Scotland.

He has also performed three times at the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and 22 of his Baseball story songs have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame’s sound recording library.

Chuck and his songs have appeared in several films and on tv. His beloved Philadelphia Phillies featured an interview with him along with his song “Whitey & Harry” in the documentary “Richie Ashburn: A Baseball Life.”

The 2003 Sony Pictures release “Radio” included a cameo by Chuck as well as his closing title track. “Moe Berg: The Song”  appears in the PBS film “Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story” (2010).

His music has been featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, NPR’s All Things Considered, Dr. Demento, ESPN, PBS, and by NFL Films.

Kathy Mattea’s recording of Chuck's song “We Are Each Other’s Angels” appears in the film “Dear Mr. Goodlife” (1998). The African Children's Choir Of Uganda also recorded the song on their "Love Is A Journey" CD, and, of course, I've recorded it on two different albums of my own. It is perhaps my favorite song. Ever.

Sports Illustrated placed "The Ballad Of Eddie Klepp" among the 25 Greatest Songs About Sports of All–Time. In April of 2019 Chuck was inducted into the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall Of Fame for his Baseball songwriting.

In March of 2018, Chuck released his twelfth album, “Them And Us,” which has received tremendous radio airplay. The album's title track was the 5th most played song on folk radio for all of 2018.
