Charlie Imes brings a relaxed, easy-going energy, as well as his special brand of laid-back, jazzy beach folk rock, to every show. A quick wit and natural, in-the-moment performer, Charlie has a very comfortable rapport with his audiences, engaging and entertaining them as if they were sitting on his front deck at the beach. With a mixture of originals (as featured on his 2009 San Diego Music Award nominated Best American/Country album, On An Island), familiar covers and worthy deep cuts, Charlie isn't just another barroom singer. He spends most of his time touring, playing house concerts and clubs around the U.S., and currently only playing in San Diego for a few months per year. Whether at home or on the road, Charlie continues to bring his beach with him wherever he goes. As comfortable as your favorite T-shirt and shorts, Charlie's music is sunny weather for your ears.

ARMORS could be best described as an abstract mural of awkward millennials from all corners of Southern California. Their debut single “Parasite” was released in January and was followed up by “Old House” in February. Both singles received an overwhelmingly positive response from Los Angeles radio station KROQ as well as numerous blogs such as We Found New Music, BuzzBandsLA, and Free Bike Valet. These songs were the products of late night jam sessions in a small home studio with Adam Castilla of the Colourist handling the production. Says bassist Kody Buxton, “we learned a lot whilst recording these songs—a lot about our individual selves, and a lot about being in a band. For example, we figured out how to fit five dudes on a single love seat comfortably, as well as how to branch out and play music we normally wouldn’t.”

Welcome to my GigTown artist profile. I am a well seasoned acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter that specializes in flatpicking guitar and roots music. Currently based in San Diego, Ca, I was raised between the Mountains and Swamps throughout the Southeastern U.S. taking in musical influences along the way from the likes of Doc Watson, Tony Rice, The Allman Brothers, Jimi Hendrix and Phish. I began learning the art of acoustic roots music at an early age and spent many years honing my musical voice and style. As a 10th generation Appalachian, I come from families rich in musical heritage and the fire of that torch burns brightly in my music today while leaving room for new and inspiring ideas. My performances strategically balance fiery guitar picking, tone filled melodies, heart felt ballads and witty song selections to entertain the listener and keep them wondering what will come next. While I have my own songs that I have written, you can also hear songs from such artists as Johnny Cash, Tony Rice, Ricky Skaggs, Roger Miller, Phish, The Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Hank Williams and Gordon Lightfoot to name a few. I arranged and produced my first two releases both of which are currently available at all digital music outlets. The first, titled “The John Olivers - Herringbones,” was released in November of 2015 and features my father and I and the two guitars I learned the craft with. The second, a self titled EP with my band Guiro Grass, was released in July of 2016. Guiro Grass is an acoustic duo consisting of flatpicking guitar and guiro(pr: wee-doh) that combines bluegrass and folk with latin grooves from Puerto Rico and Cuba. I am currently working on writing new music for my next release as well as furthering my musical education and flatpicking style refinement with world renowned and Grammy award winning guitarist Bryan Sutton at the Artist Works music academy. Thanks for stopping by to check out my profile. Contact me if you would like to consider me to play your next event. I would love to come down and pick and grin for your guests. Travis Oliver
