Saturday, May 11th at 7:30 pm
Tickets: $40 and $32 for REP Members
Charlie Mars is a country and folk-inflected singer songwriter blessed with a warm vocal croon and a knack for crafting poignant, earthy songs. He has been a journeyman artist with major label releases and high profile gigs opening for the likes of REM, KT Tunstall, and Steve Earle. The Mississippi-based troubadour grew up listening to various styles of pop/rock, from Michael Jackson to the Violent Femmes, and developed a sonic style uniquely his own. With its sparse instrumentation and focus on transcendent grooves and ambient space, his minimalist approach to music adds maximum intensity to Mars’ already powerful songwriting.
This event is made possible by the Arts & Entertainment fee collected by the Merchants of Seaside.
“The melodies feel as lived in as the lyrics and linger long after the last note fades.”
– AMERICAN SONGWRITER
“Mars’ fat grooves and syncopated rhythms inject vitality into the often dull
singer-songwriter genre.”
