CharleyC - 70’s Rock & R&B Classics
Overview
I play danceable '70s Rock and R&B classics for any type of event. With over 45 years experience singing and playing both acoustic and electric guitar, I bring the energy of a full band by using high-quality backing tracks. It's perfect for getting people on the dance floor. I love to play the crowd pleasers, and I would love to play for you! I provide all the sound and lighting equipment and I’m happy to crank it up or play at moderate to low volumes if so desired.
Here are a few of the artists that I cover:
Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, Johnny Cash, Peter Frampton, Steve Winwood, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, The Doobie Brothers, & Tom Petty.

May 7, 2025Musician Charlie C
Charlie is an excellent musician and singer with a very comprehensive repertoire, and the skill sets to make his perfomances memorable. Charlie's music includes rock and roll, blues and even gospel music and he is also very talented at improvisation. A very fine musician he is also an excellent teacher and I have had the opportunity to study with him for several years. I have found Charlie to be very dedicated, responsible, and to take his music very seriously. And even more importantly, is a seriously nice guy. I can recommend Charlie's performances without hesitation.

May 6, 2025Charley is a natural performer!
Charley has a musical gift and his ability to perform is outstanding! I highly recommend him for anyone interested in hiring a singing guitarist/one man band. He’s very thorough with his knowledge, has a diverse level of musical taste and playability, and will not let you down! He can do the classics, getting the whole crowd involved, and can even improvise on the spot if needed. Pick Charley for one event, and he’ll quickly become your go-to guy for future events!

I’m an easygoing solo musician with over 45 years of experience. Music has been a lifelong passion, and I love nothing more than creating a danceable, feel-good vibe wherever I play. Whether it’s a backyard party, a local venue, or a special event, my goal is simple: to bring good energy, great songs, and a memorable time to everyone listening.
