ABOUT JOSH CHARLES

Josh Charles was mentored by Dr. John and studied music at NYU, Manhattan School of Music and with the legendary jazz pianist Barry Harris. He moved to New Orleans four days before Hurricane Katrina. In the spring of 2009 Josh released Healing Time. All the proceeds go toward rebuilding the city of New Orleans. In February 2010, Josh will release his debut album, Love, Work & Money which features members of Dr. John’s band and was recorded in New Orleans and New York, and will be released by CC Entertainment via E1 Distribution. He is part of The Gap's Born To Fit campaign, has performed on Good Morning America, Tavis Smiley, CNN, and has been featured in USA Today and the Huffington Post. www.joshcharlesmusic.com

THE REBUILD TOUR STORY OF JOSH CHARLES

Josh Charles was mentored by Dr. John and has always had a deep love for New Orleans. So much so, he was in the process of making New Orleans his home when Katrina hit. Scheduled to record at Ultrasonic Studios the day after Katrina hit, that great studio was destroyed by the storm. Josh left New Orleans on one of the last busses that set out to Houston.

In December 2005, just three months later, he went back to record with Dr. John's blessing and members of his band at Piety Street, the only recording studio left after the storm. While there, Josh went on a congressional pass tour of the Ninth Ward, allowing him to see sections that were not open to the public. He was so moved by the devastation that he wrote "Healing Time" in an effort to bring light in a time of darkness to people's lives affected by Katrina. Visiting New Orleans again in 2006, performing at Jazz Fest and Piano Night, Josh was shocked at how little had been done.

We have structured a revolutionary partnership with Amazon.com and Tunecore.com allowing Josh to give 100% of each $.99 download of "Healing Time" directly to the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans (PRCNO) to help rebuild New Orleans.


All proceeds will go to The Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans (PRC) which has been active in revitalizing historic inner-city neighborhoods since 1974. The PRC’s mission is to preserve the historic architecture and neighborhoods of New Orleans, in so doing contributing to the vitality of the entire city.

Things that sound dirty at Thanksgiving, but aren’t…

Whew, that's one terrific spread!
I'm in the mood for a little dark meat.
Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist.
Talk about a huge breast!
It's Cool Whip time!
If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst!
Are you ready for seconds yet?
Are you going to come again next time?
It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it?
Just wait your turn, you'll get some!
Don't play with your meat.
Just spread the legs open & stuff it in.
Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once?
I didn't expect everyone to come at once!
You still have a little bit on your chin.
Use a nice smooth stroke when you whip it.
How long will it take after you stick it in?
You'll know it's ready when it pops up.
Wow, I didn't think I could handle all of that!
How many are coming?
That's the biggest one I've ever seen!
Just lay back & take it easy...I'll do the rest.
How long do I beat it before it's ready?

"Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel,
we can find something to be thankful for. The more we seek gratitude, the more reason the angels will give us for gratitude and joy to exist in our lives."

Happy Thanksgiving Day:)
