Chuck Suchy

Chuck Suchy is the real thing--one of the foremost musical voices of the American Great Plains. A working farmer, born and raised and at home in the blue hills along the Missouri River south of Mandan, North Dakota, Chuck Suchy writes sensitive and honest portrayals of contemporary American farm life, but from an insider's point of view.

The Plains have seen a lot of change, including farm crises, loss of population, and a major restructuring of the agricultural economy. Chuck remains an astute observer of it all and his songs chronicle not only the events, but the emotions and feelings that accompany such upheaval and change.

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

Crossroads Magazine has called Chuck "one of the shining lights of the Upper Great Plains." His music and stories speak to everyone -urban and rural- because laughter, love, gain and loss are common human property.
