Chuck E Bumps has a philosophy on life that seems to serve him well: Do what makes you happy.
Music makes him happy, so its no shock that he is the owner and proprietor of Bump City Music.
In addition, it comes as no surprise that his band, Chuck E Bumps and the Crocodiles, has a hip sound rooted in American music, but goes against the trendy pro-quo of modern pop and rock bands.
He describes the band as being a mixture of jump blues,rock and roll , swing, jazz and rockabilly, all mixed into one sound. “That’s American roots music” he said.

Setting the tone for an evening at the Golden Nugget Laughlin will be the music of Chuck E Bump and the Crocodiles.
They are a jive and jump band that blends swing,40’s jump music, a bit a blues and healthy doses of rockabilly to create music that screeches “Party!”
Bumps and company’s infusion of rockabilly sounds is particularly energetic. Its early Elvis,Bill Haley and Eddie Cochran. And now its Chuck E Bumps.
