Tequila Day.
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

Happy birthday to producer-engineer-guitarist Wes Henley. It has been my honor to have co-produced scores of original songs with Wes, many of which have obtained number one status and/or other awards. Keep on keeping on.
Congrats to my partner Wes Henley on another Tennessee Music Award for Producer of the Year. Well deserved. Wes you have made great music and I am proud to be associated with you.
Great band fronted by one of the nicest people I’ve ever been associated with Donnie McDaniel.
Thx for the kind words and super looking forward to playing with the band.
The band is moving from our usual Saturday night to Friday this weekend only. We will be performing Christmas Eve with our friend Chuck Freeman sitting in on guitar, and you don’t want to miss it!
We want to wish Bertie Higgins the happiest of birthdays-cf
Excited to be with Ty again this Saturday night at Havana Jack’s.
