Journeyman singer/songwriter Chuck Pyle returns to the Coffee Gallery Backstage for a 7 p.m. performance on February 12th. An accomplished songwriter, Chuck Pyle’s songs have been recorded by a number of popular artists, including Jerry Jeff Walker, John Denver, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Suzy Bogguss, Tish Hinojosa and Chris LeDoux. The song “Colorado” became the theme song for the PBS series, Spirit of Colorado, which is beamed world-wide by satellite. In 1980, Pyle wrote "The Other Side of the Hill" which has been recorded by over 20 different artists including Chris LeDoux who renamed the song "Cadillac Cowboy" and took it to the top of the country charts in 1991.
Along with being a lauded songwriter, Pyle is a well-known performer in his own right. He has developed his own powerful and unique finger picking guitar style which he calls "Rocky Mountain Slam Picking," which simultaneously emulates rhythm guitar strums and lead guitar lines making him sound like an entire band. He has taught guitar seminars at such prestigious events as the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop and the Swannanoa Gathering.
Pyle, a native of Newton, Iowa, has lived on Colorado’s front-range for over 30 years and has spent most of that time traveling the country playing theaters, festivals, colleges and coffeehouses. He has eleven albums to his credit including his most recent CD, The Spaces in Between.
