In some parallel dimension Chuck Prophet is a star, though for the real-world fans he’s amassed over the past three decades, beginning with his stint in Green on Red through his well-regarded solo career, he may as well already be one. Certainly Prophet stands as a revered writer’s writer, earning the respect of such peers as Lucinda Williams and Alejandro Escovedo—the latter’s last three records were co-written with Prophet.
Chuck Prophet returns to Europe with The Mission Express in support of his thirteenth album which is scheduled for release early in 2017 on Yep Roc. Every year Chuck’s ups the quality stakes on his albums from the amazing ‘Let Freedom Ring’, to ‘Temple Beautiful’ and his last album ‘Night Surfer’ they have all seen Chuck at the top of his game. Where Chuck excels the most is in the live setting with his two hour powerhouse shows pulling tracks from his massive back catalogue and stretching them out with epic guitar solos on tracks like ‘You Did’ or ‘Castro Halloween’. Since emerging onto the music scene at age 18 as a member of the seminal rock band Green on Red, Prophet has collaborated with everyone from Warren Zevon, Kelly Willis, Jim Dickinson, Alejandro Escovedo and Lucinda Williams. Prophet’s music has been featured in films as well as the hit tv shows 'True Blood', 'Californication' and 'Sons of Anarchy' and most recently been covered by the likes of Bruce Springsteen.
