In Memoriam: Chuck Goff
Chuck Goff, who played bass with country music superstar Toby Keith, died this week after sustaining injuries from a car accident. He was 54.
Carl “Chuck” Goff Jr. played for Keith for over 25 years as both a bass player and band leader. He also cowrote “You Ain’t Much Fun” and “Upstairs Downtown” from the 1994 album Boomtown.
Keith shared the news of Goff’s passing on his website. “We are deeply saddened by the sudden death of our band member, Chuck Goff,” he wrote. “He was a close friend for over 25 years, the band leader and bass player. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family.”
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Chuck Goff.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
Sad to hear, awesome bass player! He will be missed!
Truly a great loss…Rest In Peace “Smudley”.
Chuckie you left us WAY before your time. I will miss you, your music, your songwriting and your dance. Won’t be the same without you!
Tour will be void of his talent, but another has been placed to carry on. Go Dink n Dave.
