Chuck Brodsky
Chuck Brodsky calls himself a folksinger. Red House recording artist Brodsky wears this kiss-of-death term with pride. Cut from the same cloth as Woody Guthrie or John Prine, he has a sharp eye for detail, a wicked sense of humour, an abundance of compassion and the ability to capture entire stories in a few resonant images.

Chuck is probably the only contemporary songwriters with a presence in the Baseball Hall of Fame.. The Cooperstown, New York collection contains copies of both his debut CD (for the song "Lefty"" about a washed-up ball player) and the recent Red House release Letters in the Dirt, which includes "The Ballad of Eddie Klepp" (about the first white man to play in the Negro Leagues) and "Letters in the Dirt" (about a Phillies player's endurance of racism long after the colour line had been dissolved.)

Brodsky is not a one-sport-wonder. He also has a few hockey tunes and is really looking forward too re-visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame when in Toronto.
