Barry Charles

“Barry Charles is a unique singer from a blues and rock background renowned for his exceptional vocal range and technique. He performs with spontaneity, emotion and originality to which he adds the magic ingredients of soulfulness, humour and a great repertoire . . .” Barry has recorded five albums of his original songs, and an album of songs of Tom Waits. His song writing touches the soul with observations of life, love, the environment, indigenous causes, fantasy, humor - darkness and light. Sometimes referred to as an ‘extreme vocalist’, his performances showcase his song-writing skills, incorporating some very innovative scatting that has its roots in the blues, soul and jazz idioms. Barry performs his original songs and selected album covers accompanied by “The Deeper Beat’, innovative guitarist Peter (awesome) Wells, saxophonist Ric Halstead, Andy Tainsh - delicious bass lines & Ms Ami Smith - inventive melodic drums.
