Australian born guitarist Nick Charles is invited to perform and present workshops at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas every year.
Nick Charles has been a performing and touring acoustic musician for over 25 years on the Australian and international acoustic music scene.
Averaging over 200 shows a year from Perth to Sydney and LA to Kansas City - including many major guitar, folk, blues and jazz festivals - the eclectic nature of Nick’s music continues to delight and captivate his audiences.
With five critically acclaimed albums to his credit and numerous awards, Nick is an artist who is in high demand for concert appearances and workshops. His musical influences are many and varied and include the seminal blues of Big Bill Broonzy and Blind Blake, the countrified picking of Doc Watson and Merle Travis and the infectious swing and melody of Django.
The prestigious Melbourne newspaper, “The Age”, has declared him “Australia’s virtuoso of acoustic roots guitar” and Artstreams Magazine states emphatically he is “ the best picker on the scene”.
