"Amilia played Main Stage at Kerrville.... and captivated the audience. She has a dusky delivery style and plays the piano with superb style...I could listen to her solo all night and continue to be enchanted. She has the manner of a sprite, and the wit of an elf. Don’t miss her." - Vic Heyman, Vic's Music Corner

"There's something about Spicer's delivery that is reminiscent of a French chanteuse in a smoky, candle-lit cafe ... her husky voice rolls languorously, building and releasing between breaks like slow love at summer sunset. In its own quiet way, it refuses to be played as background music. Many of Spicer's lyrics are worth hearing as poetry, sometimes painful, sometimes playful." - Monterey Coast Weekly

MUSIC CITY ROOTS: Don’t forget the timezone . Ours is different. If you’re planning on going out tonight to see live music - good -- please go on out & support our wonderful music scene. However, if it’s a stay at home night, you might wanna check out Music City Roots . Orlando’s young band – Jubal’s Kin - is appearing . Hymn for Her is also on the bill (H4H is Maggie & Pierce – frequent visitors to our area). Jim Lauderdale is the emcee. I’ve watched several of the live streams - They’re always enjoyable. They’re archived too. So if you miss tonight live - you can watch it later. http://www.musiccityroots.com/live-stream

ALE & WITCH CONCERT SERIES: Beginning Oct 11 Dan Stevens will be kicking off a concert series at the A&W in St Pete. Looks like a good lineup. Contact Dan for more info at dan@danstevens.info .

An Afternoon of Delightful & Ensightful Songs from The Forest (Charlie’s New CD)


Charlie, who makes his home in St Pete, is a touring musician, including abroad. His music reflects his personality, ie; he’s a sweetheart of a guy – a super nice, caring individual with a great sense of humor. He’s also a very talented songwriter – singer - instrumentalist. When he’s not on tour, he performs locally - much to the delight of his local fans.
Per Bonds at Big Leather Couch: Mr. Morris has the sound that I love. He knows how to pick a guitar and make it sing. There is that down-home blues/rock and roll quality about his songs that makes my feet begin tapping as soon as he hits the first note. In concert, he and the band have that funky tightness that might remind you of bands like Little Feat.

Per Serge Warin, Radio Canal Bleu, Objat, France: "Superb playing, dynamics and swing!"

Per Derral, KCHO, Reading CA: "This is a lot of fun!"

Per Gloria: For sure – A LOT OF FUN - and great music - is what’s in store for us when Charlie Morris & Friends take the stage at the UU Dome.

I hope you’ll spend Sunday afternoon at the UU Dome at the Charlie Morris concert. However, the rest of the week there’s a lot of great music happening in our area, including Jimmy Crowley’s appearance at the Hideaway Cafe in St Pete on Sat night Sept 17. Jimmy’s the real Irish deal! http://www.jimmycrowley.com/about.htm http://hideawaycafe.biz/
