Biography

Chuck Brodsky is a storyteller, a songwriter, a troubadour, a modern day bard. 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. 
 Over the past 29 years Chuck’s performed at festivals and concerts all across the USA, Canada, Ireland, Denmark, England, Israel, Lithuania, Latvia, Wales, and the Shetland Islands of Scotland. He’s performed 3 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’s songs have appeared in several films and on tv. The Philadelphia Phillies featured an interview with him and his song “Whitey & Harry” in the documentary “Richie Ashburn: A Baseball Life.” The Sony Pictures release “Radio” included a cameo by Chuck as well as his closing title track. “Moe Berg: The Song” is featured in the PBS film “Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story.” Kathy Mattea’s recording of his song “We Are Each Other’s Angels” is in the film “Dear Mr. Goodlife.” “Blow ‘em Away” was recorded by David Wilcox and many others, and appears on the Christine Lavin’s “Laugh Tracks.” In April 2019 Chuck was inducted into the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall Of Fame for his Baseball songs.
