about

Fourtrack-Blackjack is the alias of musician/comedian/troublemaker Chuck Watkins.

In November 2005, Chuck went a little crazy, isolated himself in his efficiency apartment in Austin and emerged two weeks later with a collection of home-recorded songs he titled "The Winter Room."

Chuck proceeded to hand carve, glue, and paint several hundred cardboard cases, tied them with ribbon, and left them on the doorsteps of friends and strangers, like a drunken low-rent Santa. The experience was so rewarding, he decided to continue the project by creating an additional album for each remaining season. The follow-up, "Spring Forward" was completed in early 2007, and the final two albums, "Summer Swelter" & "Autumn Sonata" were completed in 2008 & 2010.

This is the first time Chuck has made Fourtrack-Blackjack available to the public.

Chuck lives in Los Angeles and performs stand-up comedy across the country. He has appeared at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival and can be seen on Season 4 of "Live At Gotham" on Comedy Central.
