Chuck Armstrong

For as long as he can remember, Chuck has been crazy about rock and roll. His first concert was Def Leppard at the age of 6...and the rest, as they say, is history. His favorite artists are Metallica and Bob Dylan and his personal playlist spans everything in-between. Most importantly, though, he lives his life by one simple motto: Keep on rockin' in the free world. You can catch Chuck on CYY Sundays from 3p-7p and also 10p-Midnight when he hosts The Ultimate Metallica Show!
