Tuff Duck Music is a full service music, sound support and recording company located in Jackson, Ten I moved to Jackson TN in the 1980's. Freeman and L.
My first gig was with international recording artist Rayburn Anthony. I was playing guitar with International Rock-A-Billy Hall of Famer Dennis Doc Wires. After that I was fortunate to work with Johnny Newman and The Stillwater Band, The Cody's House Band, The Tommy Akers Band, Mickey Utley, and Bulllettown. I have performed with TX recording artists, Ricochet, Nashville artists Narvel Felts and D
oug Supernaw. I have run FOH for Carl Perkins, several Miss TN contestants and winners, the King Bees and Jimmy Taylor. During the last five years I have traveled from Minnesota to Texas playing casinos, clubs and concerts. In 2014 we released our debut album Running From Love, The Chuck Freeman Band, with vocalist Linda Duck, currently available on ITunes and CDBaby. Recently we have released original Christmas music, Tennessee Christmas, written and arranged by C. Duck, recorded at Jaxon Records and sung by Nashville Recording artist Mickey Utley. Quite simply we are about making music. We hope to acquire new talent and allow artists a chance to have their original music heard. This is not a promise to make stars but a challenge to ourselves to get new music to audiences. It will not be easy but we will listen and advise and most of all get your music to the public. -Chuck
