Chuck Suchy with Tom Schaefer

About Chuck Suchy: Rod Kennedy, founder of the Kerrville Folk Festival:
"If he's not one of the great American songwriters, I don't know who is."

Rich Warren, Midnight Special, WFMT Chicago:
"One of the great undiscovered treasures of contemporary American folk music... a refreshing divergence from the trend..."
A working farmer, born and raised and at home in the blue hills along the Missouri River south of Mandan, North Dakota, Chuck Suchy has a love for making music that goes back to his childhood. Throughout his youth and young adult life, he found time to perform in the area's halls, clubs and lounges, singing and playing guitar and accordian. In 1982 a major event occurred when an acquaintance gave him a tape of Canadian troubadour Stan Rogers singing his classic Field Behind The Plow. "It was at that moment" Suchy says "that I realized that the life I was immersed in was worthy of song." He began writing his own ballads and songs, slipping them into his performances and it was soon obvious that he was on to something quite unique -sensitive and honest portrayals of contemporary American farm life, but from an insider's point of view.

Chuck Suchy will be on stage with renowned fiddler Tom Schaefer for an evening you will want to be part of!
