CHUCK AYERS

Since his late teens as a member of the acclaimed duo Allies in Central NY, Chuck has always exhibited a passion for performing.  Fronting the Capital Regions premier country band, the Back 40 band during the late 90's and early 2000's, saw him open for artists such as Rascal Flatts, Lonestar, Jodi Messina and Chris Cagle.  As their front man, Chuck had a huge part in seeing the band consistently nominated for entertainers of the year and he was personally nominated as male vocalist of the year. His heartfelt, emotional delivery draws the audience in while his expertly conveyed vocals keep's them wanting more.   "Being able to make people, smile, sing along and have fun is always something I strive to achieve.  I want to take the audience to a happy place!"
