About Charlie Mars
For over fifteen years Charlie Mars has been at the fringes of pop music notoriety, opening shows for R.E.M. and Steve Earle while searching for his own voice through constant touring. With his latest record, Blackberry Light, his artistic vision is clearer than ever. With the assistance of producer Tchad Blake (The Bad Plus), Mars has sewn together tightly crafted songs with moods and melodies that pulse with sex, wonderment, and personal destruction – all themes that may clash on paper but in music suggest mysteries that are organic to us all.
