Hello everyone, wanted to let you know about an upcoming show at the Casbah with the talented singer/songwriter, Charlie Mars. I’m very happy to be opening the show, and I’ll be playing a solo set for the first time since January! It’s going to be a great night – see you there!
With his latest album, Like A Bird, Like A Plane, Charlie Mars has sewn together tightly crafted songs with moods and melodies that pulse with sex, wonderment and personal destruction – themes that may clash on paper but in music, suggest mysteries that are organic to us all. He recorded the album in Austin, TX with drummer J.J. Johnson (John Mayer), keyboardist John Ginty (Citizen Cope), bass players George Reiff (Jakob Dylan) and Dave Monzie (Fiona Apple). “With gentle yet genuine hints of Paul Simon in both his singing and his guitar work, Charlie Mars takes listeners on a journey through some of the peaks and valleys of his life,” said The Washington Post. “Even those who haven’t experienced the personal turmoil of addiction, loss and heartbreak may feel a kinship to the singer-songwriter, who tells his story through lush musical vignettes.”
