On last week’s show, local musician Clinton Charlton came into the studio for a chat with host Mark Leger.
Charlton, 36, is the former front man for the roots-based band Carousels. But he has released his first full length solo CD entitled Parade and is holding a release party Thursday May 28 at the Blue Olive on Rothesay Avenue. Joining Clinton will be the alt-country queens The Reckless Sweethearts. The fun starts at 8pm and tickets are $7 at the door and $5 in advance.
You can watch a clip from the interview and listen to Charlton perform here. The full interview can be heard in our podcast section here, where the two discuss Clinton’s musical influences, the challenges of being a performing singer-songwriter and his rapidly growing obsession with collecting guitars (he has 17 in various stages and different vintages).
Be sure to listen to Serf City every Thursday evening from 6:30 to 7:00 pm on CFMH 107.3 FM, where you can listen to interviews with the city’s musicians, artists, politicians and other rebels with a cause.
