Chuck Prophet, born June 28, 1963, and from Whittier, is a singer-songwriter, guitarist and record producer who first got noticed in the 1980s as part of Green on Red, the psychedelic desert rock outfit he recorded and toured with. Since then he's built a long, stubborn solo career out of wiry guitar, wry storytelling and a voice that sounds like it's seen the inside of a few bars.
His records lean alternative country, but they never sit still. No Other Love in 2002 carried the loose, sun-baked groove of "Summertime Thing", and years later he was still at it: Wake the Dead in 2024 came charging out with "First Came the Thunder" and the rowdy title track, the sound of a veteran who hasn't lost his taste for noise.
