Charlie Mars

Charlie Mars lives on a gravel paved county road in Mississippi. He fell in love with Cane Corso Mastiff puppies on Instagram that a guy in Brazil was breeding. He made some money on the crypto coin Shiba Inu, which was enough to pay for the dog and shipping. The puppy from Brazil that Charlie adopted would grow to be 130 lbs, and after the dog bit a friend in the town Charlie was living in, he found some clear cut land in the middle of nowhere with a weird house on it. Charlie decided to buy it and move there. His dog needed some space and he was burned out on the “modern thing”. His Grandfather was a cattle farmer and a lot of the people he respected did things close to the land he purchased. He got rid of a tv and learned how to harvest vegetables. He introduced himself to his neighbors and started writing about what was around him in his new country home.

He has released 7 studio albums, a series of EPs, and several singles over the past 20 years. He’s shared the stage with the likes of REM, KT Tunstall and Steve Earle, and has been profiled in Forbes, USA Today, American Songwriter and other major media outlets. If you ask him, Charlie says he’s made a living playing in small clubs and backyards. But he still wants to have a tour bus and play in front of big crowds. “It’s fun to have a dream. It keeps me going” he says. “I can’t believe I made it this far in music. I figure while I had the chance, I should try to represent the people and the culture that shaped me.”
