Chuck Heinold spent the first 15 years of his life traveling the world because his father Charles F. Heinold was a career Army Soldier! After his dad retired in Washington State Chuck finished school and in his early 20s went to Los Angeles with a nationally known rock band called S.O.U.P.  Chuck lived the struggling artists life im LA of playing clubs for sometimes just enough money to eat, going to endless auditions, recording, writing songs, and playing with and meeting everyone you can. It was the early 80s and Chuck was signed to several record deals including Geffen and came tantalizingly close to stardom and in 1985 had an offer to run a popular booking agency called "Sure Bet"..  "Since I handled a lot of the business for the acts I was in, it was a natural leap for me to become an agent"!                                                                            

"The first day I was at the agency in November 1985 I had a call from a guy named Nick Pavlovich who had a large Nightclub/Restaurant on Mammoth Mountain near the ski slopes. I booked eight weeks of cover bands with  him.  I felt like I struck gold!  After starting my own agency I booked clubs and promoted shows for the next five years and in 1990 Ed Blake, who owned Chad's Place on Big Bear Mountain in California told me to find him a name band for a street festival they have called "Old Miners Day" . I booked Iron Butterfly the heavy rock band (Inna Godda Da Vida). The place was packed and over the next year Ed and I booked all the classic stars. Mitch Ryder, Edgar Winter, Canned Heat, Black Oak Arkansas, War, etc.

I was in the name act business and the rest is history.

Today I am a paid consultant with many casinos and buyers, both in the United States and overseas! I have close relationships with every major agency and management company in the world and I am booking either directly to the artist or exclusively representing over 150 stars and shows. 

      Let me go to work for you!   

Best Regards

Chuck Heinold

In early 1998 I had a call from Ms. Ruth Ziolkowski. Ruth was the widow of famed sculpture Korczak Ziolkowski. Korczak had worked with Gutzon Borglund on the Mount Rushmore monument. He was approached in 1947 by Lakota Sioux Chief Henry Standing Bear about carving the great Sioux War Chief Crazy Horse into a mountain in the Blackhills. Korczak agreed and for the next 34 years  Korczak carved the mountain.   Korczak died in 1984                                                  and is entombed in                                                 his beloved mountain.                                                     Ruth and their 12                                                         children         continue his                                                 work today.   They do this                                                 without       any                                                               government help.They do                                                this on their   own with                                                      only help from the                                                       millions of   people who                                                 know and       love this story.                                             In 1998 I went  there with                                                   Branscombe    Richmond                                                  and his show. It is an                                                          experience I will never                                                     forget. I have always felt a                                                 connection

with the American Indian people and this was my chance to play a small part in honoring them.  By the way, the Mount Rushmore monument is only about the size of the face of Crazy Horse. Imagine how impressive this sculpture is and how inspiring it will be when finished. It is a full figure of Crazy Horse astride his war pony, pointing his arm across his sacred Black Hills. If you are ever in South Dakota, go see this wonder of the world!
