Michael Charles' musical pilgrimage began over six decades ago in his homeland Melbourne, Victoria Australia. While enjoying a successful musical crusade of touring, recording, and numerous television and radio appearances in his homeland, Michael received an invitation from Buddy Guy’s management to appear at the infamous Legends in Chicago, Illinois USA. Graciously accepting the honor, Michael Charles traveled the twelve thousand five hundred miles and took the stage with Mr. Buddy Guy. After numerous trips back and forth, Michael made the monumental and life changing decision to make America his new home. Charles worked the whole Chicago blues circuit performing with Mr. Buddy Guy, Phil Guy, James Cotton, Eddy Clearwater, Junior Wells, George Baze, as well as touring with blues legend, Jimmy Dawkins. From then to the present day numerous successes mark MC’s U.S. music career. Those highlights include induction into the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame, elected ten times by the Grammy Association, fourteen international tours and twenty plus releases, including a DVD discography of his life and musical career and a 2 CD/DVD boxset chronologizing the 2020 pandemic.
