Combine a rich, rhythm & blues upbringing with soulful, adult-contemporary songwriting and you have the foundation for one of Canada’s brightest new stars.

Winner of the East Coast Music Awards 2007 Pop Recording of the Year and 2007 MusicNS Blues Recording of the Year for his lastest album Bring On The Storm and 2003 Best Blues Artist for his debut album Color Me Gone, Charlie A’Court has emerged as an emotionally charged and soul moving performer. Fearlessly bridging genres and challenging stylistic conventions, his music and passionate voice stir up the listeners’ emotions, touching the very core of audiences around the world.

A’Court has toured extensively throughout Canada and abroad, having launched his international career through the European release of Color Me Gone. With headlining performances at the Stan Rogers’ Folk Fest, Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, Kerrville Folk Fest, and the Ottawa Blues Fest, A’Court has also opened for high profile artists including John Reischman & the Jaybirds, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Harry Manx, Colin James, and Mick Taylor.

Accompanying the release have been several successful tours, opening for Australian slide-guitar legend Dave Hole, Sugar Blue (former harmonica player for the Rolling Stones), George Thorogood, and legendary British R&B/rock group, Procol Harum.

Partnered with acclaimed producer Danny Greenspoon (Great Big Sea, Bruce Guthro, Sophie Milman) A’Court released his follow-up studio album, Bring On The Storm, in October 2006. The new album spans the gamut of emotion, dealing with triumph and disaster, loss of loved ones, mental health and chronic physical pain, life on the road, and being head over heals in love. The body of work also contains tracks that pay tribute to two of Charlie’s most powerful musical influences, Otis Redding and Willie Nelson. Star players featured on the album include drummer Gary Craig (Blackie & The Rodeo Kings) and guitarist Kevin Breit (Harry Manx, Norah Jones).

2007 highlights included playing an integral part of the ECMA All-Star Tribute to Dutch Mason, Denny Doherty and John Allen Cameron. Bring On The Storm has gained industry praise with nominations such as Male Artist and FACTOR Recording of the Year at this year’s ECMAs and Male Artist and Entertainer of the Year at the MusicNS Awards.

Charlie’s modern blues style, mixed with his contemporary songwriting has created a mass appeal, enabling A’Court’s material to be widely accepted as a festival favorite by audiences and promoters alike. Fueled by emotion and a desire for delivering powerful music, Charlie A’Court is undoubtedly one of Canada’s new generation of fresh singer/songwriters, attracting fans internationally with gutsy vocals and his colourful yet solid guitar playing.
