Chuck's thoughts on the band:
The Mixed Nuts are a fantastic group of friends who are blessed enough to continue over ten years of music making based in the greatest city in the world! There is no greater satisfaction for myself to be known as a New Orleans Musician. It's a family tradition for the Credos and I am honored to uphold and honor my upbringing by performing to hundreds of people every week...with a fantastic band.
The Nuts started out as a group who couldn't play Brown Eyed Girl in my living room. Ten years later, we've played to tens of thousands of people in some of the greatest venues in the country. We've played all around the Gulf Coast with the desire to take the show even further into the American heartland. Can you tell I'm a proud parent? The best part about this band is that EVERYONE in it is a fantastic person. We have a fantastic love and respect for each other that (I think) shows in our performances.
To sum it all up, I'm having way too much fun!
See you on the road!
