Chuck has played bass in a number of bands since the late 1980s, including Bus Stop with Evan Olson, Britt "Snuzz" Uzzell, and Eddie Walker.
Bus Stop independently released 4 CDs and played the south-eastern U.S. for about 7 years, becoming one of the more popular bands in North Carolina during the early 1990s.
After Bus Stop disbanded, Chuck joined Eddie Walker to back up Britt Uzzells in a band called Snuzz.
Chuck Folds Five is a three piece band and also includes Steve Williard on guitar and Tim Poole on the drums.
They are primarily a cover band but also record and perform their own original songs which can be found on Chuck's website.
