"Working Class Genius," formerly known as "The Mistakes," formerly known as "Who Let Chuck In?" is a 3 pc. band that provides good time Classic and Modern Rock music sure to please a wide range of audiences. Chuck Powell often sounds like 2 guitar players at once. The band provides punchy rhythms and great harmonies. Their set list includes, but is not limited to, these crowd favorites: Cracker, Seven Mary Three, the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Tom Petty, and the Talking Heads.
We ended up having a VERY cold outdoor festival and these guys pressed on with wind gust up to 30mph! Great group, glad we had them!
I hired this band for a holiday party. They were absolutely great. Very professional. A great range of songs. Singer and band were very very good. I highly recommend this band. Thanks again Who Let Chuck In.
Response from Working Class Genius:
We had a great time playing at your party. Thank you for the kind review.
