Charles Christopher Bittman

"Chuck B."
Memorial page

Guitarist Charles Bittman was a member of The Triple Threat Blues Band for many years.

After going on to work with other highly-regarded ensembles, Charles sadly passed away in 2001.

We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to Charles' family and friends. He is always in our hearts, and often in our thoughts. It was an honor to have worked with Charles, and we hope his spirit remains alive in our music.

As part of our tribute to Charles, we have posted here most of the songs from StoneCold's 1996 CD entitled 4.20.
StoneCold was Charles' first band after leaving Triple Threat. Long-time Triple Threat singer/frontman Dan Labich was the vocalist for Stone Cold. Charles and Dan are featured along with Jon Clarke (bass), Hans Broecking (drums), Chris Wyckoff (keyboards), George Ramirez (rhythm guitar), and Joker (congas/percussion).
