About
Charlie Shea has performed in the Kansas City area professionally since 2013, when premiered as a composer by the Kansas City Symphony. In 2017, joined the cast of the Kansas City Renaissance festival as a Celtic singer, and it would be there the talents in dual-wielding instruments would emerge. Now a national act, touring to perform the unique "one-person band" instrumentation of playing string bass, ukulele, and simultaneously, while singing. Though genre preferences lie mainly along Celtic and Hellenic pagan themes, Charlie also finds passion in performing "renaissance heavy metal", americana and indie folk, swing and lounge, and yuletide tunes.
Additional booking notes
The only existing technical requirements is "large enough stages to fit the contrabass setup." Charlie prefers using house audio equipment for appropriate acoustics, but owns the necessary requirements to provide amplification if needed.
