May I share what's coming?

A lot has been happening lately. I won the Scene readers poll. This was a huge surprise. I have been nominated many times, but winning was a thrill.
Having hosted area open mics for so many years, I am well aware of the talent in this area. To be chosen by the community as Cleveland's best singer songwriter means a lot. I could pick songs by my peers that I wish I wrote, stage presence that I emulate, voices, guitar technique and so many other areas of this craft that I admire in my friends and fellow musicians. That said, I know how hard I work at this both for the benefit of my craft and for the local music community as a whole. This award represents that recognition, and for that I am very grateful.

I have 3 big shows coming.

1. Beachland May 3rd: with Avin Baird, John McGrail and Chris Volpe.Being able to see these 3 very talented musicians together will be a big thrill. Being on stage with them is a great honor. The show will be a songwriter in the round style, and should be a really good one. Don't miss it.
2. The Hessler Street Fair May 20: This is one of the best events Cleveland offers every year. I will be on the main stage at 2pm.....I hope for your sake, that you will be there. The fair will bring a crowd. I am excited.
3. Cain Park Alma Theater August 6: This a huge show for me. I am so excited to headline this stage mid summer.  Please plan to make it out. This may be one of the biggest nights of my life. If I have given your life any joy with my music, please make a plan to be here for this one with me. 

Again, thank you for all of your continued support over the years. I believe this coming year will be very special for me. I look forward to sharing it with you.
Thanks,
Charlie
