Party Band
Great experience. Charlie’s Bad Habit put on an excellent show at the Elk’s Club.
Party Band, Cover Band
Charlie's Bad Habit recently played for an event I attended, and it was a blast! I had to find out who they were and turns out, I was one of many people asking the event planner who the band was since we were all so impressed! They played great music, were funny, and kept the crowd engaged. Highly recommend!
