“Michael Charles, accomplished blues and roots legend, will be playing two exclusive shows in Australia this April. Born in Australia with a soul full of blues, Charles did not ‘choose’ music; music chose Michael so, by age twelve he took to the stage and to the road. Learning from the masters and heavily influenced by blues greats such as Buddy Guy, the foundation was laid solid for building his own sound of blues and blues rock. With Michael’s raw, yet controlled guitar performances, his instrument is always kept forefront and the focal point of his shows as he gives out every ounce of energy deserved. Michael will be playing the following dates: Saturday 16th April at The Central Club Hotel, 293 Swan Street, Richmond VIC Thursday 21st April at The National Press Club, 16 National Circuit, Barton ACT.”

"...You will get into I’m Nobody’s Fool, that is a given. Charles is sincere and real, and it is clearly evident that his guitar riffs and his words come from his heart, and aren’t pre-processed or over-produced in any way. Charles is real and so is his music. It’s that simple..."

— Brian Campbell, ChicagoatHome.com

"...Michael Charles' music is guitar driven rock ‘n' roll, laced with a mixture of electrifying blues, adorned with rhythmic ballads embracing words that go right to the soul..."
