Charlie Cheney

Hi, I'm Charlie. I write a lot of songs. Lately more than ever. I just completed my 2nd successful year at FAWM.org so I've probably written and recorded 100 songs in the past 13 months... I recently had songs placed on the FAWM CD, Steel Bridge SongFest CD, St. John SongFest CD and I released a solo CD, all in the past 18 months or so. I'm working on a musical comedy now about bratwurst from space, you know, because it's there, lol. You can find some of my songs on iTunes if you search by my name.

I'm pretty widely known for my songwriting, but a lot of people know me from the software I make as well... Indie Band Manager.


What others are saying...
Jackson Browne told me "I love your stuff, it’s wonderfully delirious." Pat MacDonald said "I love your really sad songs and your really funny songs." The Capital Times called me "[a] gritty troubadour." Paulie Ryan (Garbage) told me "You’re the best songwriter I know, your CD makes me laugh and cry both." Jonathan Spottiswoode wrote "I have now hereby patented the adjective ’charlie cheneyesque’ to describe off-beat, dead honest, wacky, and beautifully eery songs."

Since June 2007, songs I’ve written have been selected for the SteelBridge Songfest compilation CD, the St. John Songfest compilation CD, and the February Album Writing Month compilation CD... and another is slated for the upcoming SB4 CD this June. all the songs were written and recorded during those festivals and selected on merit, I didn't pay to have them placed or anything like that.

I released a solo CD "Giant Chicken" (available on iTunes or by mail) in late 2006 and am planning a new CD for 2008. I’m currently booking spring, summer, and fall tours to the east and west.
Hope you're well, thanks for stopping by. Leave a note!
