Guitarist and songwriter CHUCK LEMONDS lived over 15 years in the west-central Wisconsin countryside, freezing his tail off in winter just like all the others who were passing through.

In the early 90’s Chuck immigrated to Europe, specifically to Austria and set up shop and is currently releasing his 10th album of songs called “A Walking Paradise” recorded in his home studio with Austrian electric guitarist Klaus Ambrosch. He has toured over the years solo, duo and with his band in Germany, the UK, Switzerland, Slovenia and in the USA. Over the years, he has maintained contact and brought many Wisconsin musicians to Austria, and or organized gigs for them: Mary Gaines, Chris Wagoner, Clyde Stubblefield, Howard “Guitar” Luedtke, Peter Phippen, Randy Sabien, Chris Silver, Josh Harty. It’s with great anticipation and joy that Chuck returns to the home country to play at the Carpe after a 30 year absence.
