Charlie Marshall is a singer songwriter from Melbourne and is an important part of the scene since the 1980s. He’s been the guitar-slinging backbone for some of Melbourne’s finest bands from the legendary punk blues of Harem Scarem to the soulful intensity of The Body Electric whose stellar lineup included members of Dirty Three, Beasts Of Bourbon and the Avalanches. As a performer and songwriter he stands in comparison with better known Australian exports like Nick Cave, Ed Kuepper, Robert Forster, and Kim Salmon. Charlie’s music is born from passion, and instinct drawing inspiration from a range of genres - soul, blues, folk, punk, indie and jazz - creating a style that's unique and authentic. His songs are poetic, romantic meditations on life, love, politics, philosophy and the universe and they come from the heart. In live performance, he melds voice, guitar and backing loops into a dynamic force ranging from gentle, intimate moments to raging, beguiling intensity.
