Charlie began playing the guitar at age eight and was soon accepted
into The Fine Arts Center where he studied Jazz throughout high
school. Before leaving to further his musical studies at the University
of North Texas, he was awarded the Outstanding Senior Guitarist
award in 1999. It was in Texas that he fell in love with the acoustic
guitar after trading in his electric for a vintage archtop. Next up was a
move to Asheville, North Carolina to start the progressive bluegrass
band, Steel String Theory. He recorded Curve in the Road with SST
in 2004 and produced The North Buncombe Years for the band in
2006 along with Charlie Chamberlain Christmas (2008) and a yet to
be released record of original compositions. Now living in Chapel
Hill, NC, Charlie continues to write and produce music for televison
and film and performs throughout the U.S. and Europe with the
Nashville based, modern country band, The Ranchhands.
