Buy You A Chevrolet - Charlie and the Fez Kings
Charlie heard a great band called Bluebird at an early age and was stricken by this sound. Leaving the hometown of Quincy, Illinois after high school and hitting bigger venues in Peoria and Kansas City. Charlie traveled and worked across the nation before settling in Omaha, NE where a small but thriving music scene has helped to pay the bills. Charlie worked in a group called "High Heel" and met B ob Massara on bass guitar in the same group. After leaving the band, Charlie and Bob met up with drummer Ben Johnson. Meanwhile a local VFW club that supported blues music got wind of this group and they now perform there several times a month. Other shows have come along and other players have come and gone. but the sound has stayed true to their blues roots. The first CD "Play Me Some Blues" can be found at CDbaby.com, itunes.com, Napster.com, Amazon.com and many other sites world wide. Material for the next CD release is planned for early next year with ten songs already on tape. If you support live Blues acts, up and coming Blues talents and want to learn more about Blues news and Fathers of the Blues, - ”LIKE” ---Bman’s Blues Report--- Facebook Page! I’m looking for great talent and trying to grow the audience for your favorites band!
