Charlie King is a musical storyteller and political satirist. He sings and writes passionately about the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. Pete Seeger hailed him as “One of the finest singers and songwriters of our time.” Charlie has been at the heart of American folk music for half a century and has been writing songs for over 40 years. He's recorded over a dozen solo albums and numerous compilation albums with other artists. Charlie has sung in support of groups working for peace, human rights, environmental sanity and alternatives to violence. He is currently touring with his latest recording Life & Love, Tears & Laughter, a 15 song, eclectic mix of time-tested and new folk songs for today's trying times.
Charlie says "I try to cover a broad emotional landscape in my concerts. The stories I collect and the songs I write take the listener on a journey of humor, heartache and hope. What I most value in a song is the way it helps us see an old reality in a totally new light."
