Chuck Wildes - Keyboards - Harmony/Lead Vocals:
Chuck started as a drummer in elementary school and continued drumming thru high school and college. After college he decided to give keyboards a try and has been playing keys ever since. His first gig was at the Lake Worth Rosie's where he was paid with free food and beer! A year later Chuck joined The DIX which went on to become one of Palm Beach County's most popular rock and alternative cover bands with quite a following! In 1997 The DIX finally broke up but a couple years later Chuck and a couple of the guys formed a new band...Datura Street Band! Since then DSB went thru many member changes and Chuck started up a completly new lineup 2007 and these guys have stuck together ever since. Chuck continues to play keys, is the primary harmony vocalist and also sings leads to several songs as well and owns and runs the band's sound system. Chuck also manages the band's business including most all bookings and maintains both of their web sites: www.daturastreetband.com and myspace.com/daturastreetband. Influences - 80's and current rock and alternative (from Billy Idol, The Cure, R.E.M. and U2 to Eve 6, Finger Eleven, and Sublime). Goal in life - To be able (for once) to hear himself over the guitar players! ;-)
