Barely one year young and South East England based The Charlie Rivers Band are already creating a buzz…whether it be their stripped down acoustic show, or their full band high production performances!

The Charlie Rivers Band, or CRB to their fans, combine catchy melodies and intertwining vocal harmonies that simply refuse to leave your head, with songs that range from the blissfully acoustic to the all out rock 'n' roll!

One time solo singer/songwriter Charlie Rivers has witnessed an entirely natural and organic growth in his music which started when he enlisted the help of local guitarist Steve McCormack to join him in some acoustic shows. The song writing process began (“Stereo” was one of the first songs that the two wrote together and it is still played the same way today) and debut album “¼ 2 3” was released in late 2008.

The duo found that a fuller band sound was required and the final piece of puzzle came in two forms - bassist Jamie Latty (recruited just three weeks before the album launch) and later, drummer Ashley Rushman, the combination of which makes for one hell of a rhythm section.

Since finalising the line up, CRB have had a incredible 12 months, including two 300+ audience shows (Royal Victoria Hall/Trinity Theatre), a prime time slot at Local & Live festival (and confirmation of headline slot in 2010); numerous headline performances at the Grey Lady Music Lounge and Pizza Express Music Room, Maidstone; the release of the “Charlie Rivers Band EP” and a Limited Edition acoustic EP, which included the popular “Change” – a breathtaking demonstration of Charlie and Steves writing partnership.

Another 2009 highlight saw the boys support Suggs, Mutya Buena and Skye Edwards (Morcheeba) aboard HMS Belfast at the launch party for the Busking Cancer charity (www.buskingcancer.co.uk).

2009 finished on a high as CRB spent 3 weeks in California, playing intimate acoustic shows in venues such as Lestats (San Diego), Biscuits & Blues (San Francisco) and the prestigious Viper Room (Los Angeles). The tour was a great success and has only given them a taste of what will follow.

In the space of only 11 months, The Charlie Rivers Band has morphed from the ‘hear-a-pin-drop’ sounds of one man and his guitar, to an uncompromising full band musical experience. Playing sell out gig after sell out gig in the UK and around the world, audiences soak up Charlie’s sensitive lyrics, supported by his band who never fail to provide breathtaking harmonies and stunning charismatic performances. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the real deal!
