"Discovered" by Jackson Browne and Pat MacDonald in June 2006 at Steel Bridge Songfest where he exploded onto the songwriter scene with his scathing workingman's sing along "Palmer Johnson Yacht." Charlie has a commitment to, and love of, compelling stories. His songs dance around one primary theme: conflict and the choices people make during times of stress. His band of chameleons add three part harmonies, banjo, guitar, and mandolin. Cheney wraps alternately haunting and bouncing melodies around images of bill collectors on caller ID, lawn chairs left out in the rain, bulging tattoos, strip malled rural towns, sand bagged houses in flood plain, and toupees filled with bar smoke... to paint lucid and intimate portraits of American life. Cheney has gone on to have dozens more songs included on international compilation CDs since then, released an acclaimed solo CD, and a live recording.
