Charlie O’s Tales From the Road

Well now that’s it’s November I’ve been thinking back to the last year and what a great year it has been for me. Getting to work with the kind of talent I have been able to is truly a blessing for me! To be surrounded by all my friends down here in the music scene is truly remarkable, the kind of talent that is right here in the Tampa Bay area is amazing. As I look back I remember seeing the maturity of a couple of young Lady Singers named Shevonne and Nalanie Rothrock who are both huge talents and a couple of the people I am lucky enough to work with. Shevonne is only 16 and I have watched her develop her talent this past year, she has a great future ahead of her, and Nalanie who has been singing with me since she was 13 years old has now matured into a fine young woman in College who is back in town for awhile and has been back out singing with us lately, what a powerful and beautiful voice she has and to have been able to watch her progress over the years has been quite remarkable. I got a chance last week to feature them both at one show and it was quite a night! Also some of the great shows we had over the Summer ( Summer Bluesfest, House of Blues, etc, etc.) some great music there. I have also had the pleasure of working with Lester Freeman the past few months filling in with his band while his guitar player has been ill. Lester is a great guy to work with and a great human being to boot, it has been my pleasure to work with him and all the super talented musicians in his band! And as always all the guys and gals I have the pleasure of working with in The Houserocker band has truly made for a great Summer! There are alot of shows coming up on the schedule for the Holidays, please try to get out and check out the shows and see for yourself what I am talking about, come on out and be a part of it, you never know what your going to see at the shows and there all different and we really do appreciate the support! See you out there!
