Sir Charles Atkins, Professor of the Blues, Tallahassee's Soul Brother Number One: these are all titles that Charles Atkins has earned. To most people, he is known as a serious musician and a polite gentleman with a social conscious. A real, down home person, and a talented musician with a big heart. Charles learned music at the Florida School for the Blind in Saint Augustine, Florida and later earned a degree in music education at Florida State University. His chosen instruments are keyboards and vocals. He has performed with Sam and Dave, and Benny Latimore. He has since branched out on his own. Charles Atkins is not just a piano player, a soulful vocalist, and a talented songwriter; he has produced and played for other artists' recordings. Charles is willing to share his experience, teaching music in several settings. Charles plays in various groups and trios, and with his most recent venture, the Charles Atkins Blues Band.
Thanks so much for adding us Charles. What a privelege it is to have you in our circle of friends. I hope we have the chance to meet when we tour the US - Hopefully later this year. Peace The Blacktop Rockets
Thank you Mr. Atkins for including me in your circle of friends. I'm highly pleased after listening to your warm and bluesy voice and I really like the relaxed sound. Peace.
