History–  Brother Chunky (BC) is an independent musician (singer/songwriter/guitarist) based in Utah, USA.  As a farm boy growing up in Idaho he was exposed to a wide-variety of music (from old-country to heavy metal).  He took piano lessons and played the trombone in school bands.  BC started teaching himself to play the guitar at the age of 22 and played in a few random bands in college.  The first band he formed was simply called “Chunky” (original high energy “funk, punk and junk).”  After a couple years, the band name was changed to GMI.  BC ended up taking some time off from music to focus on being a father.  During these years, BC continued to jam at home and write songs.  He started making home recordings of his new songs and posted them on Myspace under the name “Brother Chunky.”  People seemed to like the music, so he decided it was time to start performing again. BC’s music reflects the variety of music he heard as a child, but no matter what he plays, his signature “Chunky-funk” groove comes through.

Brother Chunky Trio- the “Brother Chunky Trio” plays old-school blues and roots music (upright bass, drums, and guitar/vocals).

Brother Chunky (solo)- BC performs regularly as a solo act.  He mixes in a bit of humor with a wide variety of music.
