February 2023 Update: Symphony Soloist Highlights & Heading to Nashville

Hi everyone,

February seems like it couldn't be going by any faster! I'm happy to say that I kicked this month off with two unforgettable shows. The first one was with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra at Nelson Hall on 2/3 as the featured singer, along with some of their great musicians, and we nearly sold it out. The second was performing to a sold out room with my band On The Trail on 2/5 for an event by the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra, where we even received two standing ovations (video below)! It was electric!

What made the weekend extra special was thinking back on what I used to say when people asked me what my overall dream was. Simply, I'd say: "One day I'm putting on a tux and singing with the Vienna Symphony, the next I'm performing to thousands at Coachella." That weekend was the first taste of something like that, and when it hit me I felt stunned, mainly because I knew this was just the beginning, and it's going to only get more exciting.

Here are some things to look out for this month:

• I am headed down Nashville for the first time, together with my band On the Trail, to start doing some recording and see the famous city! We'll be there from February 22-26

• Dates have just been added to the Shows section of my website for the coming months, so if you aren't subscribed to those notifications, click the link and get direct emails for every show I add

•  I'm still offering a FREE 15-minute trial lesson in the Services section of my website, so please share with anyone you may know looking for lessons, or sign up for one yourself. Slots are limited!

As you can imagine, there is always so much cooking up behind the scenes that, until it's ready, I can't openly discuss or share. What I can say is that I've got some big news coming and I cannot wait to tell you all about it. Until then, I hope to catch you somewhere in the real world, whether at a show or elsewhere.

With love,

Charlie
