CHUCK PROPHET and the MISSION EXPRESS
San Francisco's Chuck Prophet has been putting out material for nearly two decades. Prophet is a singer-songwriter in the classic sense, relying on strong lyrics, a great voice and good old-fashioned guitar.

“Forget water into wine; [Chuck Prophet] turns Americana into rock, pop, rap and R&B.” Mojo Magazine
With a voice reminiscent of Tom Petty, a lyrical aptitude inspired by Bob Dylan, and an instrumental talent on par with the likes of Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, Chuck Prophet is decidedly one of rock's premiere songwriting guitarists. However, most argue that Prophet--despite recording critically lauded solo work--has failed to earn the kind of mainstream attention he deserves, primarily because of bad timing. Had he been around 20 years ago, Prophet, given his tunefulness, honest and artful lyrics, and keen sense of rock history, may have become a legend. And had he been born later, his tendency to supercede musical trends and ability to deconstruct rock would have placed him in the same modern-day category as musicians such as Beck, as well as the Jayhawks and Wilco.
Prophet, began his career with the cow-punk, roots-rock band Green on Red, is a no-nonsense musician with an appearance and attitude that scream rock and roll. A tall, lanky, stringy-haired smoker with a history of heavy drug use, Prophet looks like rock personified. And those who know Prophet describe him as a polite, yet world-weary cynic with a sense of humor. Musically, his sound remains traditional, rootsy, countrified, and raw, but Prophet himself admits that he has never been one to play by the prescribed rules of the music business
