Chuck often collaborates with his wife Stephanie Finch who is a talented singer, keyboardist and guitarist.
Chuck Prophet's musical journey began with Green on Red where he toured and recorded during the 1980s. However, it was through his solo records that he truly showcased his love for intelligent and experimental pop music reminiscent of British Invasion groups.
As a songwriter, Chuck Prophet's talent has been acknowledged by renowned artists such as Solomon Burke, Heart, Kim Carnes, Peter Wolf, Kim Richey and Kelly Willis who have all covered his compositions. In addition to writing hits for others like Cyndi Thomson's top-40 country hit "I'm Gone," Chuck has also collaborated with Memphis producer Jim Dickinson on tracks like "Hungry Town."

Chuck's first album in 4 years is inspired by the cumbia bands he saw at San Francisco clubs in the pandemic's aftermath, while undergoing cancer treatment.  The music was a source of joy, during a dark time.  He started playing with ¿Qiensave? a cumbia band based in Salinas, CA.  The result is 11 new Chuck Prophet songs wrapped in a cumbia shell.  The latin rhythms & chord progressions merge with Chuck's signature song styles to create something new that defies genre, but is undeniably joyful.
