Charlie Mars

4.7

Details

Get ready for an unforgettable night of soulful tunes with Charlie Mars lighting up the stage at the iconic Saxon Pub! This Mississippi hill country troubadour, who traded city life for a gravel road paradise complete with his massive Cane Corso buddy Kudzu, pours his heart into folk-pop infused with country, soul, and chill reggae vibes.

  • Discover songs from his album Times Have Changed, produced by Billy Harvey and mixed by Tchad Blake—think banjo-driven odes to simple living like 'Country Home' and heartfelt ballads such as 'Silver Dollar'.
  • Hear tales of rural redemption, family values, and starry porches, inspired by his Yalobusha County home and neighbors like the hardworking Brown dairy family.
  • Expect nostalgic nods to 'no sir, yes ma'am' days, love anthems perfect for sing-alongs, and raw confessions that connect deep—from prodigal journeys to finding 'a lotta love' in the everyday.
  • Charlie's laid-back style echoes Daniel Lanois' magic, blending adventure, forgiveness, and gratitude into music that's as honest as a hot coffee in a silver cup.

Don't miss this intimate gig where modern disconnection meets circle-connecting authenticity—pure musical therapy!
