Chuck Grossman is a seasoned musician born and raised in Colorado. He began playing the piano at six years old and picked up the guitar at around ten. Some of his earliest musical influences were the fingerpicking styles of folk guitarists such as Paul Simon, Leo Kottke, James Taylor and Gordon Lightfoot. At twelve years old Chuck began taking lessons from Bill Storey (Phd in Classical Guitar from Denver University) to learn some fingerpicking techniques. Bill was very impressed with Chucks early development and began teaching him classical guitar as well as introducing him to the rich Denver folk music scene of the early 1970's. He was also a section leader in an award winning High School Choir at that time, further developing his strong vocal technique. Chuck began performing in clubs in Denver at sixteen and has been playing throughout Colorado ever since. In 1988 he made his first of several European tours. Playing in clubs in Germany, Switzerland and Holland, Chuck was so well received that he remained and toured for one year. Subsequently, Chuck has toured in Europe three other times and has performed in Canada and Mexico as well as several states throughout the US.

Chucks very developed style of fingerpicking can keep a bass line going while playing melodies on top and often make people look for the "other" guitar player. Add to that his strong and passionate vocals and his interesting song selection that draws from folk, jazz, swing, blues, country, rock, bluegrass and classical, it is not hard to understand why Chuck is one of the more sought after solo acts in the area. He also plays harmonica, banjo, mandolin, bass and keyboards. Chuck is currently using looping technology and plays through a Bose sound system creating a very large sound. Some of Chucks current musical influences include Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Bop Dylan, Taj Mahal, Keb Mo, John Hyatt and Tom Waits.

In addition to his solo career, Chuck has teamed up with Doug Rutherford on guitar and vocals to form the duo of "Rutherford and Grossman". Theirs is a welcoming acoustic sound with warm, intimate harmonies and sweet pickin'. Dougs style has been compared with the late Jerry Garcia of the Greatful Dead and is very complimentary to Chuck's fingerstyle. Over the years he has formed and worked with several bands including Fearless Pedestrian, Thirty Fingers and Chameleon. Chuck has opened for or shared the stage with jazz legend Stanley Jordan, bluegrass greats such as Norman Blake, Tony Furtado, Leftover Salmon and Yonder Mountain String Band, blues man Richard Ray Farrel, Trout Fishing in America and countless others.

In 1999 Chuck engineered and produced his first CD, "Burnin' Blue", and toured the western US promoting the release. Chuck is currently recording several new CDs in his home studio in Avon, Colorado and recently composed the soundtrack to the International Film Festival award winning Alpenglow Productions film "Jump".
