Buffalo United Artists presents CHUCKIE AND THE RACK
CHUCKIE AND THE RACK is a musical journey performed in concert/cabaret style filled with an array of songs and stories inspired from Mr. Basil's life and career. This evening showcases Basil's dynamic vocals with a diverse repertoire and featuring local veteran performers Kerrykate Abel, Loraine O'Donnell, and Sheila Connors (aka THE RACK) on back up vocals. It features three and four part harmonies that are simply mind blowing....and you never know who else may show up!
CHUCK BASIL has been one of Buffalo's most recognized and respected performers for almost 30 years. Chuck first began playing at age 10, heavily influenced by the likes of Ethel Merman, Carole King and James Taylor. He has been working with the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo since 1982. After attending both Villa Maria and Canisius Colleges, Chuck would become a regular on the wedding circuit, where he has sung at over 2500 weddings to date. In 1999 he was selected to participate in the Eugene O'Neill Cabaret Symposium in Waterford CT; here he would be under the tutelage of legendary luminaries of cabaret such as Julie Wilson, Paul Trueblood and Sally Mayes. In 2002 Chuck would be hand selected by Mr. Marvin Hamlisch to perform with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and to showcase a song, "Take Me To Christmas Past" that Hamlisch would write for him.
Basil is also no stranger to the stage. You may remember him being featured in In Love With Angel and also playing literally hundreds of shows at piano bars in the area. He is truly one of Western New York's finest and most talented performers and is thrilled to be the musical director for the Cabaret Series at BUA. Look for Chuck's latest CD release later on this year!
