The tramp's moves into the backstage work - Charlie Winston ago

Charlie Winston live in the backstage work in MünchenManchmal must fit it easily. Then suddenly fit together the pieces that hung loosely over the years together, it is found that people who achieve something together that is greater than the parts. We investigated and developed, experienced and processed - and the result is an essence that appeals to everyone, even touching. This is what happened with Charlie Winston and "Like a Hobo," his song about his time as a globetrotter, street musicians and adventure hungry. Are you hungry to Charlie Winston to live? Everything fits, and they have time on 19/04/2012? Then off to work backstage at his concert in Munich!

"Like a Hobo" was all the compression work of Charlie Winston and the experience as a theater composer, student of jazz piano and his time as a restless one between Paris, London and India. And he said, many people apparently from the Soul: Out of nowhere, it has been "Like a Hobo" a worldwide hit, with international operations in the radio period, with a notation at the top of the French charts and, in consequence, equally successful releases.

And "Hobo", the album for the single climbed the charts worldwide, including Germany, where it rose to 16th place. Charlie Winston, the troubadour from Cornwall and the son of '60s folk duo Jeff and Julie, had struck the perfect tone. It had everything fit. No easy start for the next work, for such success creates expectations. The Sympath and dedicated artist Charlie Winston has been looking for this task a highly individual way: "Sometimes you have to be disrespectful to release things and have sharp edges. As Leonard Cohen has said: 'There are cracks in a wall that lets in the light.' "

Charlie Winston Live in Backstage Werk in Munich this 'disrespect' appears on his new, third album, "Still Running" in bold, surprising quotations. "The Great Conversation", based for example on Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", which one, though fragmentary, can find in the melody of the song. One could safely assert that "Still Running" is the album to which has been his entire life is moving. It is also the first album that he and his highly talented band Oxymorons in collaboration with producer Tony Berg (Michael Penn, Aimee Mann, Bruce Hornsby, Ozomatli) grossed.

"If I do not manage to write some songs that inspire, then I only use the time for people - and that would be for me and for everyone else just embarrassing." This concern is unfounded: even "running down" has everything you need for an extraordinary album. It has re-fit everything.

Come and visit the Charlie Winston concert on 04.19.2012 in the Backstage Werk in Munich. The team from Munich Blog wishes much fun.
