Singer/Songwriter Charlie Harrison
I grew up in Texas, now I am playing Texas music in DC. Please come see me and the Contraband sometime. I post stuff related to music I make, the music my friends make and the music people I dig make.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Me and the boys are playing at Fairgrounds DC on Friday at 9. It’s free and there will be a mechanical bull, picnic tables and food trucks. I have played gigs with each of these things before, but never all in one location. Some of our other area buddies will be playing too, like THJB, so get there early and have a great time.
Great video from a show at The Hamilton. Thanks to Robert for the Video and to We Are the 9 for having me.
Great flier from Luca Farinelli. Come see us play a night of Friday the 13th music with Ugly Purple Sweater , Mynoni and Friends and The Get Right Band
“What Can I do” recorded live at Cowboy Cafe in Arlington. Thanks to Mike of The Highballers for the recording. Thanks to Tony De Filippo for the image.
I am excited to be playing at IOTA this Tuesday, March 20th as part of Justin Trawick’s “We are the 9” concert series. If you have not seen it before, “The 9” consists of Justin and 8 other songwriters he invites to play in some of the area’s best listening rooms. It is a great chance to see and hear a broad swath of talented writers, and some how I slipped into the line up this Tuesday. Cover is only $10 and if you say “hi” to me at the show, I will give you a CD. I could use the support and I hope to see you there.
Big night at Velvet Lounge this Friday. Happy to be playing this show otherwise I would be buying a ticket to see Bobby E. Lee and The Sympathizers and The Highballers
Big Thanks to Tony DeFilippo for sharing these images of us playing at Cowboy Cafe last weekend. Courtesy of Tony DeFilippo Photography.
We will be back in June.
Our first full band show at IOTA! With The Highballers!
Charlie and the Contraband covering Hayes Carll and Ray Wylie Hubbard’s “Drunken Poet’s Dream”. Lot of fun to play this song.
