Chuck Mitchell met Joni Anderson during his first away gig in Toronto in 1965, and within 36 hours, the two were engaged. The folk musicians were married until 1967. Joni told Marie Claire in 2013 that their marriage fell apart partly because she felt stuck creatively, via Joni Mitchell’s website. “To get away from him, I would go out and drink coffee and write,” she told Marie Claire. She had also had a child prior to meeting Chuck, whom she placed for adoption. Joni told Marie Claire that Chuck had told her he’d help her get her daughter back if they got married, but that never happened.
After the two divorced, Chuck continued on his journey as an artist. Per his website, he started doing college and Arts Council residencies and continued making music. In addition to being a musician, he is also a cabaret and stage performer. Some of his past credits include being on “A Prairie Home Companion,” playing Harold Hill in “The Music Man,” and performing his one-man show.
Chuck is remarried and has two kids. When he spoke to The Iowa Source in 2013, he mentioned that he is always practicing and writing new music. “I love what I’m doing now, it’s different somehow, and I want to keep working on it,” he told the outlet.
