About
Change it up Charlie was started when Thom Reed and John Painter got together with some other musicians looking to play old favorites in a new way. Soon Bob Hamilton was added on guitar and later Jodi Frisby on ukulele and back ground vocals. Next to join was the lovely Ms. Holly Schmitt whose bluesy pipes gave things a new twist.
Change it up Charlie is available for all your entertainment needs, including but not limited to, clubs, festivals, corporate events, wedding receptions and so much more.
Rates vary depending on your needs. We offer as much as full lighting, sound and a great band or as little as an instrumental quartet.
Additional booking notes
Band has full profession sound and lighting that it can provide.
