Chuck Prophet is a tireless musician, singer, and songwriter of songs that come at you from both his Tenderloin song-writing room and the larger American landscape. Chuck has recorded more than a dozen albums with his band The Mission Express. They hit the road to tour Europe annually and can be seen touring the U.S. in their beloved Ford Econoline van. Since his neo-psychedelic Green On Red days, Chuck Prophet has been turning out recordings of country, folk, blues, and Brill Building classicism for a loyal audience.

His signature songs of his city can be found on his Temple Beautiful LP co-written with local poet klipschutz. Temple Beautiful is rich in San Francisco’s myths and legendary characters. Titled after the SF punk rock club where he earned his stripes, Temple Beautiful provides a home for many musical genres. Chuck’s command of music history in the Bay Area is an heroic grasp of rebel rock across neighborhoods and generations. chuckprophet.com

Chuck and his wife/bandmate Stephanie Finch have been Neon Speaks supporters and volunteers since day one.
