Market Music
Chuck Bryan
Starting from the early days for Kenny at the Quarter with the Toon's, to Mary's Palace, to a solo at Widow Watson's, Chuck has played many venues in the Jackson area over the years.  His style of music ranges from classic rock & roll, to blues and a little Texas bump.
Chuck has said that the Mississippi Farmers Market is his favorite place to go on a Saturday - well Chuck- we love having you here on Saturdays!
See and hear Chuck this Saturday at the Market.
