Charley Drumm, ALIVE ONSTAGE
28 May 2007, 3:53pm
For more than 25 years, CHARLEY DRUMM has been standing in front of people, playing his guitar, and singing the songs he loved to sing and the songs he wrote. His original songs are inspired by benchmarks in his life, loves and heartbreaks, friends and family, and a lifestyle that has taken Charley from rags to more rags. Now 50 something years old, Charley is undergoing a major lifestyle change, moving from married, family man to single, singer/songwriter, with a penchant for fishing.
Any performance of Charley's witnessed, leaves one with the definite feeling you have just been a part of something special. Coming straight from the heart, leaving nothing onstage but sweat and tears, Charley pours out his energy and love of entertaining to his audiences.
With a few exceptions, Charley has always been a solo act, completely comfortable being the focus of everyone's attention in any room he's played. The many years of solo work has lead to a unique guitar style, flashy, yet, filling any arena with the needed accompanying support for his smooth singing voice. Most arrangements by Charley, makes one look around for sidemen musicians, since it's difficult to believe all of that music and sound is coming from one man. The tag, MUSICIANS' MUSICIAN, is not handed out lightly by musicians, yet it has been used to describe our friend, CHARLEYROCKNROLL, more than once.
For a true ALIVE PERFORMANCE, do yourself a favor and catch Charley performing onstage. It's a delight to be a part of his evening of voice and guitar picking extraordinaire.
