Shawn Matthews aka Combat Chuck

As The Story Grows

Chapter 145: "Off Track Betting And Other Parlor Games" ...as read by Shawn Matthews

Was Combat Chuck the very first viral sensation? Ok, maybe not. But pre social media and YouTube, Shawn was able to create a fictional persona that reached over a million people. Pretty impressive. Shawn shares the Combat Chuck origin story, tells tales from the Banana Man photo shoot, touring with Ghoti Hook and Stavesacre, and briefly talks about his amazing band Poole. Plus, Shawn is making a documentary about the new breed of craft music makers.
