Winner of the East Coast Music Awards 2007 Pop Recording of the Year for his new album Bring On The Storm and 2003 Best Blues Artist for his debut album Colour Me Gone, Charlie A’Court has emerged as an emotionally charged and soul moving performer. Fearlessly bridging genres and challenging stylistic conventions, his music and passionate voice stir up the listeners’ emotions, touching the very core of audiences around the world.
A’Court has toured extensively throughout Canada and abroad, having launched his international career through the European release of Color Me Gone and Bring On The Storm. With headlining performances at the Stan Rogers’ Folk Fest, Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, Kerrville Folk Fest, and the Ottawa Blues Fest, A’Court has also opened for high profile artists including John Reischman & the Jaybirds, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Harry Manx, Colin James, and Mick Taylor.
Accompanying the release have been several successful tours, opening for Australian slide-guitar legend Dave Hole, Sugar Blue (former harmonica player for the Rolling Stones), George Thorogood, and legendary British R&B/rock group, Procol Harum. A’Court now regularly returns to Europe as a headliner, establishing himself as a world player.
Here's what critics say!
