Performing on average 150 shows a year across Australia, New Zealand and the USA, Nick Charles is known internationally as ‘Australia’s virtuoso of acoustic roots and blues’.
Nick has released a dozen albums on Australian and US labels including his latest, The River Flows, which saw him awarded the 2016 Blues Album of the Year, Blues Song of the Year and Solo Performer of the Year in the Melbourne blues scene.
Nick was named Port Fairy Folk Festival Artist of the Year 2014, Australia’s highest folk accolade, and is a twice winner of the Australian Song Contest. A recent accolade is the ‘Age’” Blues Album of the Year, the most prestigious album award in his home state of Victoria.
Nick has toured with and supported artists including John Hammond, Guy Clarke, Ralph McTell, Robyn Ford, Junior Wells and B.B. King and has toured the United States thirteen times in recent years. This recognition has led to Nick’s signing to the Grammy Award-winning label, Solid Air Records USA (‘Home of the World’s Finest Guitarists’), the only other Australian recognized by the label being Tommy Emmanuel.
Expect an evening of dazzling fingerpicking roots music magic and a lifetime’s stories and songs from the world’s musical highways.

Reviews:
"Plays like an angel." - Sydney Morning Herald
"Nick Charles plays acoustic guitar with the deceptive ease of a virtuoso… Charles has technique to burn." - The Age, Melbourne
"You don’t quite realise just what a fine player Nick Charles is until you see him close up. The fingers literally fly across the frets as if more than two and a half decades of performing, recording and touring have honed his skills to perfection." - Rhythms Magazine
