He’s been on stage with classic rock & roll bands in the US and in Europe ever since. Chuck’s a big fan of hard driving, 60’s, 70’s & 80’s classic rock which strongly influences his guitar-playing style.

The major musical influence in his youth was his father, a professional guitarist, and instructor.
Cary – is the lead guitarist for the Old Glory Band. He began playing guitar at the age of ten, from a music instructor who made him learn the entire fretboard note by note – totally hated it, but found that was the best way to learn guitar and understand fretboard logic. Cary and his wife moved from Cleveland, Ohio (The Heart of Rock ‘n Roll) to Venice in 2013. Cary played in various bands throughout high school and college, and most recently played the Cleveland circuit in a hard rockin’ R’nR band, Ignoring Daniel. He enjoys listening to Hard Rock, Classic Rock, and Southern Rock. His major guitar influences have been Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Aside from playing guitar, Cary enjoys spending time with his wife, riding his Harley, and golfing.
