Both Piano Trees and Rarities .6 will be available soon on Charlotte’s store! You can purchase Piano Trees through most music retailers, but if you purchase the digital version from Charlotte’s official store you’ll get to choose the quality of the download, along with a bonus PDF of the booklet. And as per usual, Rarities .6 will be in limited supplies and be limited to two per person! Grab it when you can, everyone.

And, thanks to the lovely Erin Russell, we have a few exclusives over at the gallery for Charlotte’s latest photoshoot. Go take a look!

The absolutely wonderful Erin Russell emailed me over the weekend, and she really loves the design I’ve done for this site using her photography. She also sent me some “outtakes” to add to the CharMar Online gallery! You can check them out by clicking the image above.

I’ve also done a new layout over at the fanlisting! I love how it turned out, so maybe I’ll make a new layout for this site too to match. ;)

Long time no update! Charlotte sent out a message today in her newsletter, along with a set of showtimes, and a new Erin Russell photoshoot! You can see the shoot by clicking the image above and logging into the CharMar Online gallery. Here’s the message from Charlotte. :)

Hello my dear friends,

I am so excited to see you this Fall. We are calling this little run of shows the “mad fast acoustic tour”.

My new album is still in the works but I couldn’t stay away from you until it’s finished and released. I wish I had the time to do a whole North American run this year, but then the album would never get finished! I’m about half way done with it and tackling the second half now.

In the meantime, I’m hoping these shows and videos of these shows will tide everyone over until the next big run of dates. Also, there will be a couple little surprises I’m releasing on this run…one of which is a project I’ve been working on since 2005 called ‘Piano Trees’. ‘Piano Trees’ is a collection of improv piano pieces that are totally unedited. I’m hoping it will inspire the artists in you and you’ll listen loudly on headphones while writing poetry, dancing, creating lyrics, painting, sculpting, taking photos, or doing something else that takes you to another plane. I hope it can accompany you on these journeys. It was created to be an artistic accompaniment. Now if someone is inspired to listen to it while drinking a Sanford Pinot Noir, then please invite me over.

I miss and love all of you.
Charlotte
