Charlie Farren
4-25-2015 (Ballroom)
Charlie Farren is known for great songs, great singing and outstanding live solo acoustic performances. Alone onstage with acoustic guitar in hand, he captures an audience with his unique delivery, insightful lyrics, memorable songs, soaring vocals and subtle yet innovative guitar style. ?
Bursting onto the national scene in the early '80s as lead singer and guitarist with The Joe Perry Project, he established himself as one of the hottest young singers on the Boston music scene, writing the hits "Listen To The Rock," "East Coast, West Coast" and "I've Got The Rock And Rolls Again."?
In 1986 Charlie, along with Dave Hull (Joe Perry Project) and John Muzzy, formed Farrenheit and released a self-titled debut album on Warner Brothers. Three singles from that album, "Fool in Love," "Bad Habit," and "Lost in Loveland" and video exposure on MTV, established Farrenheit as one of the premier new rock acts receiving awards, media attention and new fans across the country.
?Charlie has since released "World Gone Wild," "Four Letter Word," and "Live at Club Passim" as a solo artist. His new CD, "Tuesday" is his best work to date, featuring a song that was written but never released by longtime friend, the late Brad Delp, powerhouse vocalist for the legendary band Boston.?
Charlie Farren continues to be one of America's most original and compelling musical artists. He takes the stage alone, and leaves the stage with a roomful of new believers.?
"Charlie is contagious, displaying a candor rarely demonstrated by former arena rock stars. It's clear he has not lost the ability to captivate a room full of people no matter what the size." - Tom Dempsey, SoundCheck magazine.
