Neye Benziyor?
Imagine (if you can) John Prine and Frank Zappa getting together and saying, "Hey! Let's start a Blues band!"
Charlie is back home on the Florida Bluescoast, and the gators are nervous. Lots of gigs coming up all over the Bay area, some new clubs, some old favorites. Chuck will also be hanging out at Panda studio, working on a new live concert DVD and a new acoustic CD.
Charlie does Tennessee
Charlie did a Tennessee tour in August, with stops in Knoxville, Maryville, Nashville and Chattanooga. Caught a demolition derby, ate a couple corndogs and drank some mango moonshine!
New CD, Ten Tall Tales
The new CD, Ten Tall Tales is now available! All new original songs, featuring a little rockabilly and Zydeco flavor mixed in with the usual rootsy blues gumbo.
Come have some!
Another great Swiss tour
Charlie and his boys had a ball in Switzerland, once again. At the Fribourg Jazz Parade, they headlined the main stage, and did their thing for a great crowd. Those folks were movin like a gator in a pond full o hot sauce!
CMB kills at the
Montreux Jazz Festival
In 2007, the Charlie Morris Band played a weeklong stand at the Montreux Jazz Festival. We had an absolute blast! Standing-room-only crowds plied us with champagne and whiskey, and all sorts of great musicians, including Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn, came by and sat in with us.
Power to the People!
BAAMO and WMNF have released a CD, Power to the People, with 15 songs of protest and political punditry by various artists. One of Charlie's new songs, I Don't Know My Neighbors Anymore, was selected for the disc. It's an acoustic version, recorded during Charlie's appearance on WMNF's Live Music Showcase.
Chuck and the band also played at the Power to the People concert at Skipper's Smokehouse, which featured 30 bands! They played Neighbors along with a tune by Iris Dement and one by John Prine.
Charlie's been a big fan and supporter of WMNF for many years, and has appeared live on several different shows, including the Florida Folk Show and the Afternoon Blues Show. It was an honor to be a part of the Power to the People CD and concert!
