3 / 7 -    Hey, things were really hot last Friday night at The Down-
           town Cafe in Bristol as we opened up for Web of Addiction.
           We had a great time getting the crowd warmed up and danc-
           to the hits and also a blast cheering on a long time friend of
           the band, Renee, as she made an awesome singing debut with
           WOA. We'll be holed away in the practice shack for most of
           March but are comin' back with a vengeance ( and some new
           songs  too ) on the weekend of the 31st and April 1st for shows
           at The Bunker in Wethersfield and Grumpy's in Plainville.
                                               May ' 06 

 
5 / 28 -   CrossRoads Rt.20 on 5/13 rocked. Thanks again to Kelsey,
            Aaron, and those pain in the butt ;) fans up at the bar. We
            appreciated their joining in on "She Hates Me".... Bonnie
            and Stacey at Airport Road Cafe on 5/20 helped make that
            our best Hartford gig yet while our new friends Marilyn and
            her kickass drummer husband from New Mexico made our
            "Pinnacle USA University" corporate gig in Boston a fun
            time. Check our schedule for three smokin' gigs / pinata
            parties coming up in June. Enjoy your summer everyone
            and spend some of it with us if you can!

5 / 9 -     Looking forward to tearing it up at CrossRoads Rt.20 in 
          Palmer, MA this Saturday night! It's a bit of a haul perhaps
          for our normal (and we use that term loosely) fan contingent
          but we hope all of you can make it out as we make some new
          friends up there. Lots of great party rock tunes to dance and
          drink along to are what we'll be bringin'. Come on get happy.

6 /27 -    To Jill, Tim, Shannon, Crystal, Pulee (yep, yep), Geri-Lynn,
            Deb, Christine, Linda, Bridget (the rockstar), Mary ( can I
            have your autograph?), Ann Marie ( backups specialist) and
            anyone else we partied with at JT's Cafe in Stafford Springs
            and Grumpy's Pub & Grub in Plainville - Thanks!!!!
            This Friday night our "Booze, Babes,'n Debauchery Tour"
            continues  at Cook's Cafe in Naugatuck so bring a friend.
 
7 / 9 -     Ok, here's the deal. We are now playing our Friday 7/14 gig
           in North Haven at Playbook Sports Bar & Grille and not at the
           unmentionable place that totally dissed us and didn't have the
           kahones to let us know. Go here for directions. It's a 9 pm start
           so come on out for a party filled night of dancin', drinkin', and
           shazinkin'. 
               Chucky T & The All Stars is now a part of the MySpace.com
           music community. We're at www.myspace.com/chuckytallstars
           so why not register there now and become one of our friends!
                                                 July ' 06 

 
7 / 29 -      Rock out, pig out, and help out this Sunday ( tomorrow! )
              at the Valley Benefit Bash 2006 at The Colonial Tavern &
              Restaurant in Oxford. There'll be plenty of outdoor activities
              along with great food and drinks and it all benefits Red Cross
              Disaster Relief. Go to www.valleybenefitbash.com for more
              info. We play from between 4 and 5 pm and then again at
              6:30 to 7:30 pm so come and rock out for a good cause.

8 /14 -       We ( Ray, Andy, Ralph, & Brian ) will be stopping by
             Airport Road Cafe in the capitol city this Friday night for
             drinks, a game of darts and oh yeah, ... rock 'n roll! If you
             haven't been to Airport Road, it's a fun place where the
             people love to party. Directions right here.
                                             September ' 06 

 
9 /20 -       Yeah baby! heart pounding, crazy, rock 'n roll. That's what
             we be talkin' about this Friday nite at Cook's Cafe in Nauga-
             tuck starting at 9:30. If it were any more fun, it'd be illegal
             (and probably is in Mississippi and Alabama). Our new P.A.
             will rock you in booty-shakin' Sensuround as we celebrate the
             autumnal equinox at 12:03 am. Mark your calendars in Oct-
             ober for a gig at Chasers Cafe in Bristol on Saturday the 21st.
             Last day to be entered into our " Win a Dream Date With
             Ralphie" sweepstakes is almost here so get on it!             
                                              October ' 06 

 
10 /13 -       If it weren't for rock 'n roll we'd have to get real jobs.
               Speaking of which, we'll be punching our timecards on
               Saturday night the 21st at Chasers Cafe in Bristol where
               the people are real are the beers are real cold.
                   A quick thanks to all the fantastic folks at Silver City
              Quarter Midget Racing Club that we got to play for last
               weekend. You guys indeed know what it means to party!
              ... Chasers ... 21st ... be there. We're Chucky T & The All
              Stars and we approved this message.  
                                              November ' 06 

 
11 /8 -          Anyone who lives even remotely close to The Central
              Cafe in Plainville needs to go check it out. We just played
              there and it's really a great place to take in a band or hang
              out with a drink ( a Hoegarden brewskie perhaps? ). For the
              rest of November, we've added a show at The Blackboard
             Cafe in Windsor Locks on the 17th and then it's back to
             Bristol for a gig at The Downtown Cafe the day after Thanks-
             giving. The party'll be happening so make plans to hook up
             with us for two more sick nights of music this month.
                                              December ' 06 

 
12 /6 -        We just added a new show for Saturday night Dec. 16th
              at Hall of Fame Billiards in Ellington. This sports bar and
              grill recently opened up and it's top notch for drinks, food,
              and a place to hang and have fun. So brush up on those pool
              skills and join us for a game of eight ball.

12 / 1 -       Alright, let the month of nonstop partying with excessive
            eating and drinking begin!  First up we want to update you on
            a schedule change for Jan. '07 ; The gig that was planned for
            The Bunker in Wethersfield on the 6th of January is off but
            rock and roll ala' Chucky T will happen there on February 9th
            in it's place.
                   We want you at our next show which is at Cook's Cafe
            in Naugatuck on December 8th ..... tentative plans are in the
            works to record it so we'd like (as always) a good size crowd!
            Struggling with what to do New Year's Eve? We'll be doing up
            Chasers Cafe in Bristol that night and rockin' like it's 2099
            so mark it down. 
                                              February ' 07 

 
2 /4  -         Mnke a date with us this Friday night Feb. 9th at The
            Bunker Cafe in Wethersfield for some rockin', boozy, leave
            your work cares behind fun. Get there early too cuz they're
            serving up great food as well. If that's not enough partying
            for you ( and of course, we hope it isn't ) then get your tail
            up to Hall Of Fame Billiards on Rt. 83 in Ellington the 17th
            of this month for a night of  ball breakin' and booty shakin'.
            Directions as always are on the shows page. Thanks to all the
            the great folks we met at David Daniel's Tavern a few nights
            ago... we hope to see you again soon!

4 /8  -        This Friday the 13th ( ok, we won't even go there! ) come
             out to La Boca Restaurant on Main Street in Middletown for
             a rock fiesta in their Cantina room.  La Boca is an excellent
             Mexican style eating spot so consider getting there early and
             enjoying a nice meal.  On the following Friday night 4/20, we
             take to the stage at The Hitchin' Post Tavern in Durham on
             Rt. 17 which is a great place to have fun.  
                   What, you haven't joined us as a myspace friend yet?!

             personal and/or professional networking is easy so check it
             out!

             on their cool  patio overlooking the Connecticut River. 
                  Sunday July 29th we'll once again be supplying the music
             for The Naugatuck Valley Benefit Bash at The Colonial
             Tavern in Oxford. Great picnic food, swimming, along with
             other fun activities will help make this a great time we hope

                                            November '07 


  11/10 -      Friday November 16th, we return to that mecca of good 
               music and drink, The Downtown Cafe on Main St. in Bristol.
               If you can't enjoy yourself at the Downtown, you probably
               aren't trying!
                   Then for Wednesday night Nov. 21st Thanksgiving Eve, the
              Chuckies help kick off what is a long weekend for many and
              one of if not the biggest bar nights of the year at The Hitchin'
              Post Tavern on Rt. 17 in Durham... a supercool place with a
              neato (yes, we said neato) patio and tasty foods and drinks.
              Did you know they've been playing live music there since the
              1800's? Hmm...bet that first show rocked!
                   Finishing out the month on Friday night November 30th,
              we go to the east side of the river at Fat Cat's Bar & Grill,
              493 Westchester Road in Colchester. Fat Cat's has everything
              you'll need to get the party going including girls that dance on
              the bar.

                                             December '07 


  12/29 -      2008 is knockin' at the door and we have three upcoming
              January gigs for you. Friday January 4th we're at Hall Of
              Fame Billiards in Ellington, a really nice, large venue for dan-
              cing, shooting pool, and hanging out with friends. On the 11th
              The Chuckies head south of the border ( sort of ) at La Boca
              Restaurant & Cantina on Main St. in Middletown. Arrive on
              the early side for a bite because their food is excellent!
                  Saturday January 26th finds us at Stonewall Tavern over in
              Husky Country, ... i.e. Storrs, for more good rockin'. So go
              have some fun and don't let the post-holiday blues take hold.
              All the best to everyone in '08!  

                                              March '08 


   3/6 -      Sorry, no Papa's Pub show. We hope to see everyone
               though on the twenty-first at Gilo's!      

   3/2 -       Here's what's going on this month rock 'n rollers:
           
           First off on Friday the 7th, Papa's got a brand new band as
           your Chuckies partay the night away at a recently opened
           cool venue called Papa's Pub, 493 W. Main St. in New Britain.
           Two weeks later on 3/21 we're excited to be hitting the stage
            at Gilo's Cafe on Main St. in East Hartford! ...you need to
           make it out for this one people 'cuz Gilo's has all you need
           for a great time. After catching our breath we return on Fri-
           day March 28th to one of our favorite places, Middletown's
           rockinest juke joint, Mad Murphy's, at 288 South Main St.
           So forget dancing with the stars, dancing with the "All Stars"
           is where you want to be in March.  

                                                May '08 


   5/1 -        Can it be that our rockin' party band is four years old!? 
             ... sure is! So hop in your hybrid car or earth-warming SUV
            this Saturday night May 3rd and celebrate with us at Dewey's
            Irish Rock 'N Roll Pub in Seymour.  The following Saturday
            we're at the always fun Downtown Cafe in Bristol. Check our
           "shows" page for start time and directions to the gigs.
                

                                                June '08 

   6/8 -         We had a great time last night at The Stonewall Tavern
             in Mansfield as spontaneous outbreaks of dancing and sing-
             ing occurred while we were playing! Of course we're hoping
             for a similar reaction at Boston Billiard Club in West Spring-
             field, MA Saturday the 14th at 9 pm when we'll be playing on
             their deck.
                 
                     In other news... this just in : The Chuckies will be on     
             the bill as an opener at Toad's Place in New Haven on July
             12th for the band Black 47 !! Visit our myspace page to print
             out your discount ticket.

             June 28th we play Meriden's favorite nightspot Chas' Place
             on Broad St. for a  9 pm show.

                                        Oct. / November '08 

   10/18 -      Spread the word kids, we're certified ROCKSTARS!
                Ok, we just might be overdoing it with that statement
                but damn, ... we sure felt like them back in July playing
                Toad's Place in New Haven. And if that wasn't enough,
                sharing a stage with WPLR's one and only "Wigmaster"
                at West Haven Beach a week later really knocked us out.

                   The rest of October is extremely quiet but The Chuckies
                return for more party rock 'n roll in November at 59 Bank
                in New Milford, and Archie Moore's Restaurant in Derby.
                Election time draws near so make sure to vote early and
                often for the candidate you think will screw things up the
                least.  Hey Sarah, we can see Russia from our house too!

                                       January / February '09 

    1/24 -     Can we rock the house at Riders Cafe this Friday night
              1/30? Yes We Can! But it will sure be great if you're there
              to help us do it. Liftoff is 9:30 at 2627 Thomaston Ave. in
              Waterbury ... Hope you'll come out to not only support us
               but also Riders' cool new owners as well.

                   Other upcoming shows are Saturday, February 7th at
              New Miford's amazing 59 Bank restaurant and then Friday
              2/20 at the one and only Downtown Cafe in Bristol. Check
              our "shows" page for the complete 411.

                    The crowd favorite songs ... new rockers too.

                  It's more Chuck for the recession buck in '09!

                                             June / July '09 

    6/20 -        Summer's arrived and we've got a slate of shows and
               events we hope you can come out for. Next Saturday June
               27th we'll  be returing to Airport Road Cafe in Hartford
               for a rockin' time with all our friends there, hopefully on
               the patio.
                  
                     On Saturday July 11th we'll be in hog heaven perform-
               ing live in the parking lot of Gengras Harley-Davidson Mo-
               torcycles in East Hartford. Check out their huge selection
               of bikes while we endlessly play "Born To Be Wild" .....
               along with lots of other songs of course! 1 to 3 pm is the
               time we play.

                     Our band's online press kit is now featured on
                             Gigmasters.com. Check it out here.

                 Have an entirely safe and rockin' summer everyone!

                                        October / November '09 

    10/20 -    This whole economic downturn thing sure hasn't been
              any fun so that's why you need to grab a bit of enjoyment
              when you can like this Friday night 10/23 at Time Out
              Sports Bar in Manchester. We'll provide the musical back-
              drop to your night out at this great venue!

                    All of us in the band learned recently just how fragile
               life can be and how it can change in a moment when our
               lead guitarist Andy narrowly escaped serious injury from
               a reckless motorist. His vehicle wasn't so fortunate. We're
               glad he's ok (sore though) and to quote his own words,
              "The Metalgod isn't going out like that". 
                                     December '09- April '10

     This past winter had the Chuckies doing their usual rotation at the
  Aiport Rd. Cafe in Hartford , the Gateway Cafe in Bristol and various
  other venues. New Years Eve at the Gateway was a blast!

     Unfortunately, we were given some bad news. Brian, our lead
  singer, and one of the founding members of the Chuckies has decided
  to turn in his microphone and is leaving the band. We will miss him
  greatly and we wish him well.. Come see him at his last gig at the
  Gateway on May 8th.

      On a good note, we were very fortunate to find a new lead singer.
  Vicki Gagliardi has joined the band. She brings many years of
  experience as a jazz and rock & roll singer. We look forward to
  continuing on with her!
