This opportunity led to his joining the English fusion group Brand-X. As a member of Brand-X, he replaced Phil Collins and recorded and toured for the classic album Masques.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n           Returning to his rock and pop roots, Chuck joined Hall and Oates and recorded two platinum albums and did two world tours with the hit writing duo. Subsequent albums with Michael Bolton, Diana Ross, Balance and Bon Jovi followed. He next joined forces with Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, recording two albums and hitting the road for another two world tours.\r\n          After Rainbow, Chuck toured and recorded with various artists including Joe Lynn Turner, Glen Burtnick and the powerhouse vocalist Meat Loaf. Chuck toured extensively with Meat Loaf and recorded the Live at Wembley album. Directly after Meat Loaf, Chuck began working with Blue Oyster Cult, during which time he recorded the Cult Classics and Heaven Forbid albums, and began playing on national TV commercials. After Blue Oyster Cult, he was once again reunited with Ritchie Blackmore for sold out tours of Europe, South America and Japan for the album Stranger in Us All.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n           In 2001, Chuck completed a three-year commitment to the Latin pop sensation Enrique Iglesias. Beginning with an extensive world tour for the album Vivir, he returned as musical director for the Cosas del Amour world tour and finished with a dense schedule of TV shows and concerts promoting Enrique’s first English album, Enrique.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n           In 2002, Chuck debuted on Broadway drumming for the smash musical Movin’ Out, which featured the music of Billy Joel and the choreography of Twyla Tharp.  Movin’ Out garnered rave revues and a Tony award. It had an incredibly successful three and a half year run playing to packed houses before closing in 2005. While playing the final shows of Movin’ Out, Chuck was approached by Billy Joel to join him for a world tour in support of his My Lives album.  Since the day he accepted Billy’s invitation, Chuck has continued performing sold out shows throughout the world with The Piano Man. Some of the highlights of the past six years have been recording the 12 Gardens Live album and Billy’s first song in fifteen years entitled Christmas in Fallujah. Chuck also performed the historical Shea Stadium shows, and completed an unprecedented fourteen month tour of sellouts with the Elton John and Billy Joel Face-2-Face Tour. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n        The two concerts that closed Shea Stadium featured a forty-piece orchestra, and guest performances by Tony Bennett, Garth Brooks, Steven Tyler, Roger Daltry, John Mellencamp, Don Henley and Sir Paul McCartney.  Sixty thousand people each night attended those historic shows, and there are two outstanding movies of these events. The first is a documentary that ran throughout 2011 on cable’s Showtime called The Last Play at Shea. This is a story of the history of the venue, the Mets baseball team and Billy’s early years, interspersed with concert footage. The second is a full-length video and double CD set of the performances entitled Billy Joel- Live at Shea.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n       Since the Shea shows, Billy has continued to sell out stadiums and arenas all over the world, and in January of 2020 , he and his band began the 7th year in a row of his historic and always sold-out residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Staying busy in between Billy’s shows,Chuck recorded an album with American Idol’s runner-up Crystal Bowersox, and performed on The Ellen Show and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in support of her first album, Farmers Daughter. He also recorded teen model Kaile Goh’s debut album for Universal.  Chuck is very excited to have a new album coming out from his melodic hard rock band Tokyo Motor Fist, called Lions. It is the follow-up effort to their debut, Tokyo Motor Fist, which was critically acclaimed in the international rock press. As of the present( 2023) , Chuck continues to do shows with Billy, in the United States and internationally, performing to ever growing audiences, all shows always sold-out!!! For the foreseeable future, most stadium shows will be a co-bill with singing legend Stevie Nicks opening the shows.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJuly 2023 marked the beginning of the last year for Billy Joel's Madison Square Garden franchise, which has had the most unprecedented success in music history.

With both his parents having their Masters in Music Education, he had a different focus from the start than most children picking up drums. He grew up surrounded by musicians in live and session formats, and was trained in theory, ear training, and sight-reading at an early age. His lessons and performances throughout his early years were saturated with rhythmic perseverance and focus that helped him sculpt his musicianship. By age 7, Chris had already begun leading worship every Sunday with his parents who were music directors at their church. He continued taking lessons for the next 8 years, studying under multiple percussion and session players, receiving a firm foundation in rock, fusion, funk, and pop. He continued playing for larger churches and conferences throughout high school on drums but also led retreats and conferences on guitar, all while continuing lessons and playing rock and pop with different musicians and bands in the Albany, New York area. \r\n\r\nThe insight provided him from his parents and mentors growing up gave Chris an understanding of the importance of interaction and communication in music and honed his attention to details in how the whole of the music moves and feels. That foundation developed an authority and confidence that he exudes when he plays that has set Chris apart and earned him the privilege of playing and touring with numerous artists and bands on multiple national tours.\u003cbr/\u003eChris has been Musical Director and band leader for many of the artists he’s worked with, and is well-versed in leading sessions, rehearsals, and overseeing tour preparation. He’s appeared on The Today show, The Opry, Good Morning America, CMT and GAC, Jimmy Fallon Live, as well as TV spots in London and numerous appearances on TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) that are broadcasted worldwide. He is currently on tour with Lady Antebellum.","country":"","full_name":"Chris Tyrrell Lady A","active":true,"featured":false,"featured_at":null},{"id":547,"first_name":"Hamish","last_name":"Rosser","group":"Wolfmother","social":"twitter.com/hamish_rosser, http://instagram.com/hamishrosser","quote":"","created_at":"2015-01-09T16:28:22.715Z","updated_at":"2016-01-22T02:29:42.032Z","bio":"","country":"","full_name":"Hamish Rosser Wolfmother","active":true,"featured":false,"featured_at":null},{"id":669,"first_name":"Nate","last_name":"Walker","group":"Independent","social":"","quote":"\"I play Vater because I know I can get through a full set without my sticks falling apart.

He established himself in the early nineties as a founding member of The Frames. He recorded and toured their first three albums, then subsequently left in 1998 and went on to become an independent drummer playing with many renowned Irish artists. One of which is Mundy who Binzer still tours and records with on a regular basis. Mundy, a Meteor award winner, has had hit songs 'July' and 'Mexico' and a song featured on the 'Romeo \u0026 Juliet' soundtrack.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBell­x1, who formed from the ashes of Damien Rice's old band enroled Binzer in this new incarnation.
