View Chuck Prophet In Action Online

Psychedelic roots cowboy from the Left Coast, Chuck Prophet, streams into the Narrows Center for the Arts this MONDAY night. That's right. Monday. Sorry about that, chief, but that's the only date available.

Don't know him? Well, you can sample the goods, baby, if you got Windows Media Player. Don't know if it works for other players.

Chuck has a video for the title track for his latest fab CD "Age of Miracles." Scroll down the page and look to your right after you click here. This is the cut that sounds to these furry ears as very John Lennonish circa "Walls and Bridges," which is about 1974. Chuck doesn't sound like Lennon (he sounds more like Jonathan Richman, actually), but the background strings echo the ones on Lennon's "Steel and Glass" song.

(P.S. For those of you unfamiliar with Jonathan Richman, he's the fellow who sang the theme for "There's Something About Mary," the Farrelly Brothers comedy starring that blonde actress who just won her lawsuit over nude photos--God, what's her name? She's in the Charlie's Angels movies too. She's terrific.)

Towards the end of the video you can catch a glimpse of Chuck's wife Stephanie Finch doing back up vocals.

Tickets are still available for the show. Go to www.ncfta.org for info.
