Chuck Michaelson recently moved to Portland, Oregon from Gainesville, Florida, where he was a staple of the music teaching and performing community for more than 25 years. Originally from Chicago, Chuck completed both his BA in Music History and Masters of Music (MM) at the University of Florida. Through his studio, Helios Music Enterprises, he has taught students of all ages and levels in piano, guitar, organ, flute, digital keyboards, recorder, and ukulele. He's a multi-faceted composer whose instrumental pieces are infused with elements of classical, blues, and jazz.
Chuck has performed with classic rock, top 40, funk, R&B, and jazz groups, and has served as an opening act for Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and legendary Texas bluesman Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. As a soloist he's played classical music, blues, jazz, and original compositions. Before devoting himself to music full time, he worked for 8 years as an announcer on WUFT-FM Gainesville hosting various shows on public radio, includeing "Nothing but the Blues", "Montage" (acoustic jazz), and "Musica Antiqua" (Renaissance and Medieval). He is currently available for private events and club work and looks forward to becoming a part of the Portland music community.
