Details:
âRare and pure of heartâ best describes the music of this Texas-based smooth jazz guitarist. Wood is not by any means a newcomer to the music scene. Born in San Antonio but raised in Bulverde, Texas, he has played with a few of countryâs finest musicians like Johnny Gimble and also played in the house band at Gilleyâs for three and a half years.

Charlie first started playing banjo taught to him by his father at the age of seven. However, at the age of nine Charlie developed an interest in guitar and when he was eleven he began to take lessons from a jazz guitarist, Dow Daggett. At fourteen he began playing professionally various types of music from Rock N Roll, R&B, Blues to Country. Getting his feet wet in all genres of music Charlie found that his true love is Jazz. When contemporary jazz hit the music scene Charlie knew he had found his niche.

Charlie released his first contemporary jazz CD, In The Thick of the Woods (which was considered for a grammy). His second release Rhythms of the Eclipse proved talent worthy as Charlie has opened for such acts as Chuck Loeb, Fattburger, George Howard, Gerald Albright, Walter Beasley, Everett Harp and Brian Culbertson. Recently he has opened for Boney James, SpyroGyra and Stanley Jordan.

Charlie is an accomplished guitarist and his persistence and determination have enabled him to receive endorsements from Epiphone Guitars, J. DâDaddario & Co and Dunlop Picks.

His newest project, Water Colours, has guest artist, Kim Stone, bassist for The Rippingtons. The new CD is phenomenal and captures Charlieâs true sound, âsound that fuses smooth jazz, straight-up jazz, Latin, funk and balladsâ. He plays his music with âsoul, class and imaginationâ (Jim Beal, Night Lights, Express-News), which reveals his inner creativity. As Charlie believes in giving back to the community, he teaches children through his music store, Third Stream Music in Bulverde.

Charlie is a dedicated and talented man who believes the Creator has blessed him and allowed him to be able to do his music by performing and teaching. He is currently a member of BMI and NARAS.

It is evident Charlieâs music comes from his heart and for certain, whether you hear Charlie live or on CD, he will captivate yours.

Charlieâs reinforces the thought of Living in Unity, one man, one heart, one soul.
