Charlie Braun...folk, rock, pop, blues. 
Singer/Songwriter, Guitars and Vocals, Producer, Teacher

From a home-base in New England, Charlie has traveled and performed both solo and with great musicians up, down, and around the east coast, across the country, and beyond. Music has taken him to the White House, Fenway Park, the Carribean, New York City, Martha's Vineyard, and Brazil. He has opened for, and performed with national acts such as Livingston Taylor, Roger McGuinn, and Carly Simon.

Singer Songwriter:
Charlie has recently recorded his 6th CD of original music, "Theory Of Time": folk-rock, blues, and world music. His “Yoga” CD, recorded last year, received praise from many students and teachers alike. “Charlie Braun is a remarkable musician and songwriter. He’s created compositions of musical sincerity- harmonious, serene, and soulful. 'A Dream I Had', his 'yoga' CD, adds a wonderful musical compliment for my classes, as well as in my personal practice. It goes beyond the meditative...it’s simply beautiful music (Paul Spector- Director, Laughing Heart Yoga).
A 2007 Charlie Braun concert was filmed by Amherst Community TV, and can be seen in it’s regular rotation. He has also been offering his music in multiple Kirtan (yoga chanting) communities throughout New England, accompanying kirtan groups and leading his own enlivening chants.

Producer:
As a Producer, Charlie has worked on many projects for full-length CDs, as well as individual tracks for singer-songwriters and musicians. One collaboration has won the Parents Gold Choice Award for 2009, and he recently produced the theme song, "Shine You", for Amherst TV's "Women in the World". (see the Studio Page on his website for samples of music Charlie produced.)

Teacher:
His strong rhythm-based connection and approach to music is the core of Charlie's teaching. With both guitar and singing, his intention is to keep students mindful of the delivery of the song. Introducing groups and individuals to 3-part harmony singing, especially in the traditions of folk, gospel, rhythm and blues, and country, has become a signature offering to his teaching. Charlie also works with groups of musicians to develop and enhance their professional/performance intentions.

Carly Simon


“Charlie’s music is warm, soulful, spontaneous, and full of joy."
Ned Claflin- Songwriter & Savant

"Charlie Braun... is one of the finest songwriters I’ve ever known. His voice is as experienced as his guitar playing which is astounding. As a producer/arranger he has a remarkable ability to see into the heart of a song and how to serve it. He’s a kind of Song-Whisperer, intuitively knowing how a song should be approached and cared for."
Harry Becker- Luthier, Musician, Songwriter, & Teacher
