Charlie Brechtel has been around for over 32 years, playing his music with
legendary greats like John Lee Hooker, Deacon Jones, Gregg Allman,
B.B. King, Dr. John, Buddy Miles, Aron Neville, Fog Hat and more. He plays
the major bike events, including The Redwood Run, Hollister, Sturgis
(house band for the Buffalo Chip since 2003), Las Vegas Bike Fest, Am Jam,
The Love Ride, opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Daytona Bike Week, opening
for Travis Tritt and Montgomery Gentry. Charlie's music defines the
legacy and brotherhood that comprise the soul of the American Biker.

Jack and Patti Taaffe were seriously injured in a motorcycle accident on May 28, 2007. Jack is a member of the CC Riders MC, based in Madison, Wisconsin. The club wants to host a fund raiser for the couple to help offset some of the escalating medical bills.

Hupy and Abraham, S.C., attorneys for the Taaffe’s, have agreed to sponsor the event by providing the Charlie Brechtel Band, coming directly from the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis, South Dakota. The west coast band has played at major bike events around the country and is coming to Wisconsin to perform at the Wisconsin H.O.G. Rally in Racine on August 18th and the Harley Shootout Rally, August 25-26, at Great Lakes Dragaway, Union Grove.

Charlie Brechtel is a friend of Tony “Pan” Sanfelipo, senior investigator at Hupy and Abraham, S.C. Charlie agreed enthusiastically to help out at the fund raiser, saying that bikers helping bikers is what brotherhood is all about.

The fund raiser will be held Friday, August 17, 2007, 8 PM to 11 PM, at the CC Riders clubhouse, 1325 Parkside Drive, Madison, Wisconsin. Admittance is $10 per person, with proceeds going directly to Jack and Patti.
