CRITIC’S PICK: Times Have Changed is the title of recurrent visitor Mars’ new album, but he’s still doing what he has been for the past 30 years; writing honest folk-pop tunes and singing them in a voice that comes straight from his heart to yours. “Don’t You Want to Know Me” he asks on a recent track, yet anyone who listens to his music already knows him well. That’s the goal of most Americana singer/songwriters of which he is one of our most resilient. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Charlie Mars has released 7 studio albums, a series of EPs, and several singles over the past 20 years. He’s shared the stage with the likes of REM, KT Tunstall and Steve Earle, and has been profiled in Forbes, USA Today, American Songwriter, and many major media outlets. If you ask him, Charlie says he’s made a living playing in small clubs and backyards. But he still wants to have a tour bus and play in front of big crowds. “It’s fun to have a dream. It keeps me going,” he says. “I can’t believe I made it this far in music. I figure while I had the chance, I should try to represent the people and the culture that shaped me.”
