Charlie Marvin’s musical voyage began in the foothills of the Sierra’s. Music found it’s way into his life in his senior year of high school after a series of injuries. Down and out and smoking pot. Hanging with a different crowd because of it. He ditched school one day and headed out to some property near the high school and Rubin started playing some guitar. He knew right then that that was what he was suppose to be doing. Something was simmering below the surface for years. Here was a chance for it to reveal itself. It was lightning in a bottle. A complete opening of new corridors of expression and joy and liberation. Once it got inside, it changed everything. It was a whole new lens to see the world through. And that lens was ripe with adventure then and it continues to elevate and enthrall the soul on a regular basis to this day. Blessed to the bone.

After much tutoring from the ever elusive Rubin Jackson, it was time to start playing for people and exchanging some of this delicious energy with others. From the beaches of San Diego, to the stages of Los Angeles and San Francisco, to the streets of France and Spain, across this beautiful country, and beyond, the music continues to thrive and carve out it’s own little place in the world. It’s music that comes from the soul and is the common thread throughout the meanderings and the journey of this ever-changing miracle we’re all a part of. It’s hard to believe that we get to have such an experience as this. Thank you for taking the time to listen to the moments and adventures which have inspired one person enough to sing about them.
