Charles is a Cheverly fixture -- he's one half of ChvBlog, a frequent musical guest at Cheverly Weekday Nursery, Cheverly Day, Cheverly Swim & Racquet Club's Adult Night and other local venues...as part of an acoustic duo or his full band. Charles makes significant contributions to the quality of life in our town, and we're grateful that he volunteers his musical services at nearly every Market.
Here are a few things you may not know about Charles: He's a local through and through, born and raised in Washington, DC. He's a classically trained composer. His great great grandfather was a Civil War general. He's learning to dive. He makes a fantastic (though infrequent) peach pie. He likes science fiction. He's turning 40 really soon. Do you feel like you know him just a little better now? Good.
Now, if you've been to the Market, here's something you already DO know about Charles: he's a really great musician with a wide variety of influences. And he's pretty funny. Ask nicely, and he may even play those Rush and KISS songs you've been hankering to hear (or Elvis Costello, The Clash and The Cure, if that's more your speed). But do me a favor and request some of his originals. They're lovely. And please tip -- four hours of playing in the heat is hard work!
(I nearly forgot! He's also one half of local concern (and occasional Cheverly Community Market vendor Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea, the best tea in Cheverly!)
See you Saturday at the Market!
