In Australia, Charlie has been mentored by some of our finest, including Geoff Achison, Jimi Hocking, Russell Morris and Lloyd Spiegel. In the USA he’s performed alongside band members from such great acts as BB King, Albert Collins, Ray Charles, Bonnie Raitt, Wilson Picket – and most recently, Charlie was the opening act in Melbourne for Robben Ford's Australian tour.
Charlie’s latest album “Good To Go”, released worldwide in May 2020 through USA-based Blue Heart Records, hit #1 on Australia’s RMR Charts, #2 on USA RMR Blues Rock Charts & #14 on the UKs IBBA Charts.
