BiographyCleaver grew up in Clarksville, Ohio, the son of a factory worker who had very eclectic musical tastes ranging from Manu Dibango to Dave and Ansell Collins.[1] He enrolled in the University of Cincinnati in the late 1970s.[2] In addition to his musical career, Cleaver worked as a stonemason, though he stopped after his chiropractor advised against it.[3] He and Wussy band mate Lisa Walker both used to be record traders before their musical careers began.[4] Musical careerCleaver started Ass Ponys in 1988, and they released their first album two years later. During this time, he lived in Bethel.[5] With regard to why Ass Ponys broke up, Cleaver says, "I just kind of felt that Ass Ponys had run its course," and "We were coming up with new material, but I just really wasn’t all that interested in it anymore."[6] After he met Lisa Walker in 2001, around the time Ass Ponys released their last album of original material, Lohio, they decided to form a band, which Cleaver decided to call "Wussy" because "I just like the way it looks on a T-shirt. It's another one of my names ensured not to get anywhere."[1] In an interview with the Portland Mercury, Cleaver said that he originally enlisted Walker to sing with him when he was asked to perform solo for a Cincinnati awards show.[7] He has been called one of the best singer-songwriters in America by Freedy Johnston.[8] Musical influences and styleCleaver has stated that he prefers music that has "something a little messed up with it," and gives Sparklehorse and Tom Waits as examples of his favorite artists.[9] Music critics have described Cleaver's vocal style as an "anxious" and "corkscrew falsetto,"[10] and "a strained, inebriated falsetto that could have easily originated from the mouth of a townie who's witnessed weird stuff for years."[11] Additionally, Neil Strauss has described Cleaver's vocal style as "a cracking, tuneful drawl somewhere between that of Michael Stipe of R.E.M. and Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips."[12] References1. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/dan_deluca/20120809_Welcome__Wussy.html?c=r | title='Best band in America' stops by tonight | work=Philly.com | date=9 August 2012 | accessdate=25 January 2014 | author=DeLuca, Dan}} {{Ass Ponys}}{{Wussy}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Cleaver, Chuck}}{{US-singer-songwriter-stub}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.villagevoice.com/music/qanda-wussys-chuck-cleaver-and-lisa-walker-on-the-cincinnati-scene-playing-music-with-your-ex-and-shaking-the-critics-band-tag-6655261|title=Q&A: Wussy's Chuck Cleaver And Lisa Walker On The Cincinnati Scene, Playing Music With Your Ex, And Shaking The "Critic's Band" Tag|last=Cohan|first=Brad|date=2012-03-02|access-date=2016-08-06}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.knoxmercury.com/2015/04/03/qa-chuck-cleaver-of-wussy/|title=Q&A: Chuck Cleaver of Wussy|date=2015-04-03|website=The Knoxville Mercury|access-date=2016-08-06}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00yq7qs | title=Wussy in the studio with Marc Riley | work=BBC | date=17 October 2012 | accessdate=31 January 2014 | author=Riley, Marc | authorlink=Marc Riley}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.cincinnatimagazine.com/features/the-ballad-of-chuck-and-lisa3/|title=The Ballad of Chuck and Lisa |website=Cincinnati Magazine|date=2009-12-01|language=en-US|access-date=2016-08-06}} 6. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.cincinnatimagazine.com/features/story.aspx?ID=1673992 | title=The Ballad of Chuck and Lisa | work=Cincinnati | date=1 December 2009 | accessdate=25 January 2014 | author=Cohen, Jason | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201205821/http://www.cincinnatimagazine.com/features/story.aspx?ID=1673992 | archivedate=1 February 2014 | df= }} 7. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/if-you-ever-gave-a-damn/Content?oid=6233740 | title=If You Ever Gave a Damn | work=The Portland Mercury | date=14 June 2012 | accessdate=31 January 2014 | author=Lannamann, Ned}} 8. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2001-07-12/music/ass-ponys/ | title=Ass Ponys' Lohio Review | work=Phoenix New Times | date=12 July 2001 | accessdate=26 January 2014 | author=Baker, Brian}} 9. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.knoxville.com/news/2011/may/12/knoxville-music-chuck-cleaver/ | title=Chuck Cleaver never bet on the Ponys to get rich | work=Knoxville.com | date=12 May 2011 | accessdate=25 January 2014 | author=Bledsoe, Wayne}} 10. ^{{cite web | url=http://robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?name=ass+ponys | title=CG: Ass Ponys | work=Robertchristgau.com | accessdate=30 January 2014 | author=Christgau, Robert}} 11. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.houstonpress.com/1996-04-11/music/hillbilly-revenge/ | title=Hillbilly Revenge | work=Houston Press | date=11 April 1996 | accessdate=30 January 2014 | author1=Rowland, Hobart | author2=Burtman, Bob | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070828233658/http://www.houstonpress.com/1996-04-11/music/hillbilly-revenge/ | archivedate=28 August 2007 | df= }} 12. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/11/21/arts/in-performance-pop-887803.html | title=Sad Stories And Lonely Characters Tramps | work=New York Times | date=21 November 1994 | accessdate=11 February 2014 | author=Strauss, Neil}} 7 : Musicians from Cincinnati|Living people|People from Clinton County, Ohio|American indie rock musicians|Songwriters from Ohio|1959 births|People from Bethel, Ohio |
