"If you’re looking for pirate music, no need to look further than The Pirates Charles. They call themselves pirate rock specialists and I couldn’t agree more. I’ve seen these minstrels live and in person, they really rocked the ship with their pirate presence... If this doesn’t make you kick up yer heels and raise your whiskey high, then you haven’t an ounce of pirate soul."
-Housewife in Hollywood, housewifeinhollywood.com
"The Pirates Charles come across as jovial and shameless in their performance... The Pirates Charles' rough presentation is so wonderfully perfect that it's hard to believe it isn't secretly (and masterfully) contrived...That such a primitive facade can conceal music so entirely engrossing is a major feat."
-Bilgemunkey Radio
"If you've not been lucky enough to catch The Pirates Charles in concert then your pyrate life is not yet complete. [The Pirates Charles] take chanty music to the next level of rock. If pyrate music groups had rock stars, The Pirates Charles would be they.
-The Pyrates Way Magazine, Spring 2008
"...Equal amounts of talent and imagination, The Pirates Charles is just as impressive to watch as they are to hear".
-Bobby Musgrove "Un Sung" KILLRADIO.ORG
"Somewhere out there Blackbeard and Beefheart are drinkin scotch goin' 'These guys are where it's at.'"
-Taylor Johnson

On Oct 3, a fantastic gathering occurred within a cafe-sized room canopied by trees. The Gypsy Camp is a long-visited place within El Escorpion Park in West Hills - long overdue to be utilized as a unique venue for live music.
It was the beginning of a new series of acoustic shows that bring bands out of bars and clubs, friends and musical enthusiasts out of the house on a saturday afternoon, and a unique and magical experience to everyone involved.
If this looks like a good time to you, please tell people about it, and join us for Gypsy Camp The Second on Saturday, Nov. 14. Prepare yourself with a cooler and blanket and an afternoon to enjoy some great music.
I just fell in love with you guys when i saw you at Shorline, I've been addicted ever since! Probably some of the best live performers I've ever seen. I was standing there thinking "What do I have to do to join this crew!? They could use another girl to even it out :P" Lol
