Chuck E. Costa is just the type of artist that Songs:Illinois was created for. He’s completely independent, has released several acclaimed lp’s and ep’s, and tours regularly playing folk festivals, coffeehouses and small clubs/theaters. But there’s not a word of him on any other blog despite having a new ep out called At The Drawing Board. I’m not going to try to convince you that you’ll all fall in love with his music. But if you are a fan of acoustic folk a la John Gorka, Darden Smith or Ellis Paul than he definitely deserves a listen.
Here’s the title track “At The Drawing Board”; the ep can be purchased here.
