Brother Chunky may be a musician who has gone unnoticed and perhaps Brother himself doesn't care too much either. Farmer in Idaho and currently resident in Utah, time has passed slowly for this man, he learned to play the guitar in his twenties, he has written a lot of songs and has been recording them at home, for fun. In college he played in a couple of bands without any projection and retired to family life. He continued writing songs, some of which he uploaded to MySpace, to his surprise they had relative acceptance and he felt motivated to perform again in front of the audience. The good reactions encouraged him in 2013 to publish his first album, continue performing and not stop composing songs. He released a second album in 2018 and continued having fun composing and singing personal and good songs for everyine.
Brother Chunky's music is simple and kind, it exalts the country blues of the old songsters, the ballads learned among the rural dust and the honky tonk that came flashing in small doses. You could find this musician playing his guitar on any street corner, in a roadside bar or celebrating a party in the neighborhood, but you must pay close attention to him. The art of music is in each of his chords, without pretensions, simply because he is a complete and rooted musician, who composes excellent songs and performs them with absolute viscerality. They are stories of his walks without any destination, with companions and anonymous traveling friends, they are the unrepentant blues of a contemporary songster.
