Charlie Mars

Mississippi-born singer/songwriter Charlie Mars is a country- and folk-inflected pop artist blessed with a warm vocal croon and a knack for crafting poignant, earthy songs.

Since the ‘90s he’s released several albums, toured extensively, and opened for the likes of REM, KT Tunstall, Citizen Cope, Steve Earle, among others. Now, with his newest release “Blackberry Light”, Charlie uses supple grooves and ambient Daniel Lanois-inspired production to enhance the elemental force of his classic songwriting influenced by the likes of Bob Marley, Bill Withers, and Dire Straits.

Praising this new release, CreativeLoafing.com writes, “Imbued with jazzy warmth, simmering dynamics, and uncommon use of space and intensity, ‘Blackberry Light’ presents a gifted writer and musician at his confident and creative peak, a milestone work in what has proven to be a most extraordinary artistic evolution.”
