Carl Breese

Tonight, Carl Breese and Friends will heat up Chet’s Place just like old times! If you’ve ever enjoyed music by “Lost Weekend” or “Mace in Dickson”, you’ve heard the power of Carl’s flawless lead guitar.

Some, who’ve played along with Carl for decades, have said that they’ve never heard him miss a note. A musical perfectionist, many don’t realize that Carl was a distinguished athlete having set the basketball scoring record at Mountain View High School which stood for many years.

He was also fluent in French. On a French Class Trip to Quebec we sat in the third story open window of our hotel in the Old City, he on guitar, Eddie beatin’ out base on the guitar case, me on harmonica; we drew a crowd, and kept them for quite a while. A warm, unforgettable evening of young girls in sun dresses, our first sips of wine, and American acoustic rock music floating across the cobblestone streets.

We are lucky that Carl chose to raise a family rather than “riding a bus, gig to gig to gig” for the rest of his life. After rocking us locally for decades, Carl and family chose to settle out west – he’s greatly missed on The Hill – we are so happy he’s back for a visit, and can’t wait to hear his wailing blue Fender!!!
