Биография

There is no Chuck here. No, he’s not the lead singer. No he’s not the inspiration for the music. He was the high school janitor... the janitor who droned on and on about his lifelong dream involving a ’Picture Show”. They never knew what the hell he was talking about. After all, they were just teenagers who wanted to get through high school and move on. But fast-forward 4 years later…those three friends had a dream of their own. A dynamic 3-piece rock act with a growing fan base, and no name… The Chuck Shaffer Picture Show was the logical choice. Affectionately dubbed CSPS, the band’s members are Ryan Johnson (Vocals/Guitar), David Stiefel (Bass), and Patrick Kenney (Drums). CSPS has shared the stage with acts including Alice in Chains, Jane's Addiction, Coheed and Cambria, New Politics, 21 Pilots, Circa Survive, Papa Roach, Seether, Saving Abel, Sick Puppies, 10 Years, Red, Crossfade, Civil Twilight, Smile Empty Soul, The Dirty Heads, Shinedown, and more. The Chuck Shaffer Picture Show released their debut full-length album “For Your Eyes Only”, recorded and produced by Justin Thomas and mastered by Nathan James. The band hit the studio with Thomas once again, accompanied by co-producer Brett Hestla; creating "Protect Your Silence". In 2012, CSPS won the Rockstar UPROAR Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands! In January of 2013, the band headed to Hollywood to record their third release with legendary producer Jay Baumgardner at NRG Recording Studios; "Temporary Fix".
