Looking ahead there are already dates in 2024. But then the year is almost half over and we have to keep moving. </span><br><br><span style="color:#ffffff;">Sammary Studio: They have finally arrived. The “My Shadow” Limited Vinyl Edition 2023’s are on the shelves, in the store, and on the merchandise table at the concerts. To meet the vinyl demand, we chose My Shadow as it is one of MC’s most requested releases. Great quality and the artwork is beautiful. Pick up your copy today!</span><br><br><span style="color:#ffffff;">Michael Charles: For the first time since before the pandemic Michael will head back to his homeland for a couple weeks before the burning summer schedule. Primarily a promotional tour for 2024, MC will perform at a Melbourne favorite “Beneath Driver Lane”. The rare acoustic concert will feature special Aussie musos from Michael’s past. It should be super entertaining! </span><br><span style="color:#ffffff;">Until then, and after, and as always, Michael Charles "hopes to see you somewhere, someplace, sometime".</span></wbr></p>Michael Charlestag:michaelcharles.us,2005:Post/71528002023-02-12T21:28:53-06:002023-05-10T22:49:46-05:00February 2023<p>When 2022 came to an end we were so thankful to our family, friends, loyal following, new fans and all the television stations, radio stations, and newspaper and printed media who help to make our year so successful. We gave a super special thanks to all the venues who hosted Michael Charles and His Band. Since covid, these owners and managers worked diligently to keep their businesses open, often themselves bartending, cooking, and serving the public. We applaud them and thank them for their continued support and friendship and faith in Michael Charles and his music and because of all of this, we felt so good and driven to hit the road in 2023! We commenced with three new venues in Minnesota and Wisconsin on the three coldest nights since last winter but we were warmed at the turnout and the places were packed. If they were any indication…the “NO DETOURS 2023” tour is going to rock! </p><p><strong>Moonlight Label:</strong> Busy at the label promoting the new shows for 2023 and looking forward to the entire year with new places to perform and others to revisit! Tours to and in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan Canada, a stop at The infamous Blues Plate Special Show in the great state of Tennessee along with a debut on The Rhinestone Stage at The Glen Campbell Museum in Nashville, and Wyoming, Iowa and Wisconsin, New York, Indiana and Illinois are already on the books and adding more each week. Keep an eye on <a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.michaelcharles.us/tour" target="_blank">www.michaelcharles.us/tour</a></p><p><strong>Sammary Studio:</strong> Throughout the past holidays one of the real gifts was the time “at home” to do some recordings in the studio and the guys wasted no time to start working on and recording again for the new album. Finishing touches are also underway on the vinyl release of one of Michael most requested CD’s and it's finally on its way to manufacturers. Wonder which release it is? But for entertainment right now?? You can watch the third episode in the series of Driven! DRIVEN 3 -REZOOMED released April 14 to “Get Inside” subscribers is now available at <a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.michaelcharles.us/videos" target="_blank">www.michaelcharles.us/videos</a>. </p><p><strong>Michael Charles:</strong> By now we are sure you have seen and heard Michael's new lineup. We are so proud of our "new troupe" and now we have added a new roadie and right-hand man. We are very excited to welcome Damien Lopez! Already proven himself roadworthy, for sure! See them when they come to your town, and as always, Michael Charles "hopes to see you somewhere, someplace, sometime".</p>Michael Charlestag:michaelcharles.us,2005:Post/70503152022-08-31T14:48:49-05:002023-02-12T21:23:03-06:00September 2022<p>We are all looking at our calendars in disbelief, because, yes, it is already September! But we are more than grateful for a wonderful year so far and there is still much more to come. Looking forward to another tour to our friends to the north as Michael and the Band head up to Canada September through October and then down to Wyoming, onto Minnesota where Michael will perform two theatres and two rare concerts of songs that pay homage to many of the guitar greats that inspired him throughout his career! From there over to Nebraska and finishing up the year closer to "home" in Illinois. 2023 bookings are coming in fast and furious, so we remain "driven"! </p>
<p>Moonlight Label: We are proud to announce our premier artist Michael Charles is now an Illinois Artstour Artist. This honour came to MC last month when we received a congratulatory letter from the Illinois Presenters Network. Artstour Roster artists are professional performers who demonstrate high artistic skills, creative programming, and efficient management. Our congratulations to you Michael Charles! </p>
<p>Sammary Studio: As you may be able to tell the studio is a little dark these days with the guys on the road so much but I am sure they will be back to recording when they can. I do understand there is an album to be released on vinyl in 2023. </p>
<p>Michael Charles: You may have witnessed Michael's new lineup. We are so proud of our "new troupe" and we have added their bios to MC's website. If you click on biography on michaelcharles.us and click on the drop down "troupe" you can read all about our guys. What a stellar team we have! We hope you have the chance to see them in action when we come to your town, and as always, Michael Charles "hopes to see you somewhere, someplace, sometime".</p>Michael Charlestag:michaelcharles.us,2005:Post/69887732022-06-07T15:20:30-05:002022-08-31T14:53:39-05:00June 2022<p>MC said it all when he sang “Life’s gone past so quickly” (<a contents="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQjtW8d8HFU" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQjtW8d8HFU" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQjtW8d8HFU</a>) and so much has passed so quickly since we last brought you up to date on Michael Charles, Moonlight Label, and Sammary Studio. </p>
<p>We wrapped up 2021 on a high and deemed it a very successful year considering we were trying to get out from underneath the COVID grip. But we did it! We are on our way! </p>

</ul>Michael Charlestag:michaelcharles.us,2005:Post/65123192021-01-02T17:02:24-06:002023-12-10T10:57:03-06:00January 2021<p>Here at Moonlight Label this time of year normally excites us as we look back on the past year, bundle up the accomplishments, and then march straight ahead into the New Year. This time as 2020 slips away we feel the gratefulness that we all stayed healthy but pain knowing there are so many less fortunate. Grateful that concerts performed in January and February were fabulous but feel the emptiness from the ten months of tour dates we had to cancel. And grateful that all of you stuck with us and the COVID Alone and Acoustic and Plugged Inn session videos racked up more than twenty- six thousand views, but us playing live and seeing you, was impossible. </p>
<p>Yet another bright note in 2020, Moonlight Label released “<a contents="The Early Years" data-link-label="The Early Years 1984-1988 [Bonus Tracks Download]" data-link-type="page" href="/the-early-years-1984-1988-bonus-tracks-download">The Early Years</a>" , a CD of the complete 45 r.p.m. singles released 1984-1988 by Michael Charles in Australia before he moved to the U.S.A. in 1990. Also, in 2020 <a contents="“19”, in download&nbsp;form" data-link-label="19" data-link-type="page" href="/19">“19”, in download form</a> of all the Alone and Acoustic songs recorded during the pandemic became available. </p>
<p>Although all alone for the good part of the time, the video recordings of these sessions kept the momentum flowing for new projects in Sammary Studio and Michael is now working on two albums at the same time; a brand new album filled with all new songs and another album of alternate takes of some of his most loved songs. For the calendar, dates for the touring schedule will be posted on the website as they are booked. So……….….. here we go. It is with optimism that 2021 begins, and more than ever Michael truly hopes “to see you somewhere, someplace, sometime.”</p>Michael Charlestag:michaelcharles.us,2005:Post/64441462020-09-27T22:33:09-05:002022-06-01T20:02:57-05:00September 2020<p> Time to check in with our friends, following and acquaintances. And what can be said that hasn’t been said? Unprecedented times to say the least. We mourn in our hearts for those lost and pray for those left behind to be safe and survive the days yet to come. </p>
<p> Of course there is no touring in Canada, Australia, or across the USA to report and for right now we have chosen to remain as safe as possible and will be off the road until we feel we will not jeopardize our health or the health of those around us. We are saddened about losing what was scheduled to be the biggest year of touring ever, but we hope we will soon experience a recovery and be on the road once again to perform for everyone. </p>
<p> Just before the pandemic became a reality the latest release by Michael Charles hit the market. <a contents='“The Early Years" is the complete 45 r.p.m. singles released from 1984-1988 by Michael Charles' data-link-label="" data-link-type="album" href="/album/1313286/the-early-years">“The Early Years" is the complete 45 r.p.m. singles released from 1984-1988 by Michael Charles</a> in Australia before he moved to the U.S.A. in 1990. It is a nostalgic and incredible piece of Michael’s history. Please check this CD out on his website. Available on CD or download. While you are there be sure to check out the "All I Really Know from A to Z" DVD including a download of the CD Soundtracked ON SALE for only $9.99! While on the subject of the documentary please note it is available for a free viewing at michaelcharles.us. 59 minutes <a contents='"All I Really Know from A to Z" &nbsp;' data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://michaelcharlesus.bandzoogle.com/home">"All I Really Know from A to Z" </a></p>
<p> We are all trying to do our best at Sammary Studio to keep rocking. Solo music projects filled the studio and some special interviews took place via the phone. One project, after a tremendous outpouring of support, escalated into something bigger and better than ever expected. For a total of nine weeks solo acoustic recordings were produced to serve as an outreach by Michael Charles in the attempt to stay connected to his audiences and provide some entertainment and enjoyment. Alone, no engineer, no typical crew hovering about, the songs laid down and video recorded were produced only for broadcasting over the social networks with no intent of becoming a part of Michael Charles’ discography. But after views into the thousands “19” became a download reality and is available at michaelcharles.us. <a contents='&nbsp;"19"&nbsp;' data-link-label="19" data-link-type="page" href="/19"> "19" </a></p>
<p> Some other projects included; an interview with <a contents="Natalia Dagenhart" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsXFOTPg9Fc" target="_blank">Natalia Dagenhart</a> and the effects of COVID on individuals from all walks of life, from Melbourne, Australia an interview by <a contents="Pete Camileri of Pete's Voodoo Room #21: Michael Charles" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzsbtF2xaks" target="_blank">Pete Camileri of Pete's Voodoo Room #21: Michael Charles</a>. The Vodoo Room interview can be viewed on the video page at Michael website michaelcharles.us or at Pete’s Voodoo Room on Youtube, and a forthcoming interview and video with Minnie Hues, international correspondent for Around the Sound magazine and renowned filmmaker will be available very soon. </p>
<p> The future is either unknown or what is known is a secret so we will leave you with the hope that you will stay connected to us through Michael’s website, facebook, twitter, itunes, Youtube. Whatever way you choose please know we think of and miss all of you and look for the future to be even bigger and better as Michael truly hopes “to see you somewhere, someplace, sometime.”</p>

As at the start of every year, we look forward to the new year with continued energy and expectations! And the tour name for this year promises just that! The 2020 tour is aptly named “No Hindsight 2020”. We chose this name as Michael Charles is always “looking” into the future to see what needs to happen to continue his music recordings and performances. Even in his interviews he will affirm he made many choices through his fifty year plus career , good and bad, but he “never looked back”. Although proud of his accomplishments, he doesn’t ride on his laurels. So onward we go into 2020 with a hefty schedule of recording, releasing, and touring. </p>
<p> Michael Charles’ 39th release and the first one for 2020 entitled “ The Early Years 45 r.p.m. collection 1984-1988” is all of the 45 singles released by Michael Charles in Australia before he moved to the states in 1990. Watch for this CD release along with a very limited boxset including, believe it or not, a set of the original 45 r.p.m. vinyl record pressings! </p>
<p> Continuing in 2020, when not on the road, Michael will spend his time in the studio working on a long awaited CD of all new songs. May take a while as the calendar for 2020 already shows another busy year on the horizon. Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and a trip out west are on the books for early spring. We will spend the whole month of June in Canada this year and look forward to New York and Australia in August. September comes in with a nice mix and October and November we are out west again. So stay tuned for updates, releases, news, and schedule enhancements, because, as you know, Michael Charles “...always hope to see you somewhere, someplace, sometime.”</p>Michael Charlestag:michaelcharles.us,2005:Post/60301842019-09-20T19:00:00-05:002022-05-07T01:15:55-05:00September 2019<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffffff;">We are all sailing through 2019 and hope this year is a real good one for you thus far. Here at Moonlight Label our present tour Soundtracked 2019 has taken us across the USA, across the border to Canada, and across the ocean to Australia. We have had the pleasure of performing in some spectacular venues, meeting some tremendous new audiences. Along with our new acquaintances, we would also like to thank the press, radio, and television for the privileges of being featured on their programming and in their studios which many of those interviews can be seen and heard at michaelcharles.us under the video and radio tabs. We truly appreciate everyone's support. </span></p>
<p><br><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffffff;">On the release scene, our long term documentary project, "All I Really Know from A to Z" finally made it's way to DVD in the spring and became available February 2019. As of now copies of the documentary are available on michaelcharles.us under the store tab. You can also purchase the DVD at all live concerts and also via michaelcharles.us through CD Baby. For your viewing pleasure you can go to michaelcharles.us and watch the full documentary on youtube or Amazon Prime Video. The next accompaniment to Michael Charles' "All I Really Know from A to Z" collection is a long awaited CD soundtrack. The release is in production as this newsletter is being written. </span></p>
<p><br><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffffff;">Looking forward, October, November and December are filled with dozens of concerts and studio recording hours. Please check www.michaelcharles.us under the tour tab for scheduled performance dates "and as always, Michael Charles hope to see you somewhere, someplace, sometime". </span></p>Michael Charlestag:michaelcharles.us,2005:Post/60301832018-07-05T19:00:00-05:002023-12-10T11:59:17-06:00 July 2018<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffffff;">In 2018 a five year project came to it's completion in the form of the documentary "All I Really Know from A to Z" about the life and musical career of Michael Charles. Proud of the combined efforts and countless hours of producer Michael Charles, Australian film director Salik Silverstein, the wizardry of record producer Greg Williams and audio engineer Daniel Desiere of Dex audio Australia, the talents of Salvatore Galassia from Sammary Studio, along with the script writing, the stellar narration from Derek Los, the keen eye of photographer Joe Wyse, along a myriad of other talented photographers, technicians, graphic artists, and contributors, the documentary hit the airwaves on several public stations and became accessible on Amazon Prime Video. Now in 2019 the documentary will be available to the world in DVD form. The DVD will culminate the documentary along with almost two hours of music videos and bonus material. The documentary CD soundtrack aptly named "Soundtracked" will follow thereafter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffffff;">We are also very pleased at Moonlight Label and Sammary Studio to announce a special project in the form of a new album to be released 2019. The CD is a collection of the recordings from Michael Charles that originally came out on 45 rpm. You will be treated to songs such as "I’m A Puppet' , "Feel The Magic" "My Lady", "Rock “n” Roll Music", and "She’s My Woman", plus many more selections. Sure to be a unique addition to our merchandise table the CD will also be available on our online store at www.michaelcharles.us.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffffff;">Speaking of recordings and excitement, Michael Charles plans on filling up his non-touring days in 2019 to commence working on a brand new album with all brand new songs. We have anticipated this for a long time and hope his schedule will allow him to bring forth this new release to you in the not too far future.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffffff;">The new tour is Soundtracked 2019 and already on the touring schedule for 2019 is a concert on the glorious Mainstage Theater at Pheasant Run in St Charles Illinois. After that we will be heading up to the infamous Wilebski's Blues Saloon in St. Paul Minnesota and then moving over to Wisconsin to grace the stage at the Chippewa Valley Cultural Association / Heyde Center for the Arts. In February the band will head down to southern Illinois. For April a tour for Florida is in the works and May / June they will travel out west and then up to Canada. August will take them back out to Florida for the Lima Blues Fest and various venues. September they will perform in Laporte Indiana for the La Porte County Blues Festival and then over to Bascom Iowa for The Soul Shine Blues Festival. In October the band will make a return trip to Canada and in November December out west once again. It looks like a wonderfully busy year already. </span></p>

The schedule also appears on Bandsintown, Facebook, Reverbnation, Songkick, Number1Music, Eventful, and Pollstar! And as always.........

We have been waiting a long time for this, almost four years in the making. We are especially thrilled about this up coming film and DVD release!!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #ffffff;">Finishing up the spectrum is the touring schedule, which appears to be one of the busiest yet, with two tours on the books to Canada, two out west to Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah, two Harley Davidson 115th Anniversary concerts, a tour out to New York, and on and on. Like in Michael's former tours, we feel so fortunate and happy to see our faithful followers and to meet so many new people!

<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff;">Some of you know agendas were set in motion a couple years back to make a documentary on Michael Charles' musical career. Summoned by Australian film producer Salik Silverstein of SOS films Michael completed two trips to Australia to generate footage for the documentary. In the latter part of 2016 Michael and the band traveled again to Australia where the schedule included radio shows, numerous studio sessions at Newmarket Studios to record the music and to film the recordings of these songs for the documentary. The grand finale conducted by Greg Williams from Dex Audio produced and recorded a one night only concert at The Caravan Music Club in Victoria Australia. There on the scene Salik Silverstein and crew captured the night on video. Moonlight Label, Newmarket Music, and SOS Films are diligent in their efforts to release this documentary and soundtrack which will include the 2016 single "Coming Back Home". Watch for the documentary out on DVD in 2017.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff;"> Another continuance of the past will generate itself in 2017 in the form of a live album release. Sammary Studio, able to secure recorded past shows in brilliant format will produce at least one live album for 2017 We are not privy to where exactly the shows were, but are told the recordings are spectacular and a superb representation of Michael at his best!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff;">The last but not least carry over is Charles' performance schedule. Meeting so many great people at new venues our scope of touring places becomes larger and larger with every passing year. We are grateful to those along the way; the agents, the promoters, radio, television, press, and especially the venues who put us up on their stage. The "All I Really Know" 2017 tour is Michael's tenth consecutive annual tour and dates on the books so far for the first half of the year include; Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada and Montana, Chicago, New York, and Florida in the USA. Please check the tour schedule regularly as new dates are continually added. And as always, Michael hopes "to see you somewhere, someplace, sometime".</span></p>
