Charlie Recksieck, recording under the moniker of Chuck Charles, is a piano player whose original songs are most compared to Ben Folds, Warren Zevon and They Might Be Giants - or lovingly thought of as "the stupid man's Randy Newman". He is a co-founder and longtime member of The Bigfellas who are best known for their more humorous tunes such as "I Wish That I Were Gay", "4:20" and the world's only golf rap, "On The Green," all of which are on their schizophrenic debut CD, Chubbed Up. Charlie is also half of the San Diego recording artists, Leaders In The Clubhouse, pioneering the genre of "fun rock" with songs like "She Gets Loud", "These Goddamn Devices" and "LawnChairs". His music has won a Los Angeles Music Award for best pop album, been nominated for a San Diego Music Award, several local TV appearances, hosted the 48 Hour Film Project Awards and won award for Best Song ("Gotta Tell You") at the Top Shorts Film Festival. He also writes a weekly music blog, Words About Music at The Bigfellas website.
