Overview

I provide intimate, contemplative solo acoustic guitar music for all manner of occasions, from concerts to events.
I am also available to compose custom solo guitar pieces for any occasion, and offer an option for a professional recording of the piece. In addition to music, I am a published author and also offer readings or recitations for events.

Note: I do not sing or perform singer songwriter material - I provide instrumental solo acoustic guitar music.

Charlie is amazing!

I couldn’t recommend Charlie more. Beautiful and skilled guitar playing yes, but also an amazing person to work with. Charlie was communicative, kind, generous and really went above and beyond to help make my event so special. You won’t be disappointed.

What to expect

I provide original solo acoustic guitar compositions, as well as requested music––on the more intimate, gentle side.
