American soul singer Charles Bradley is looking to woo local music fans when he brings his unique gravelly rasp to our shores next month.
The man known as The Screaming Eagle of Soul put in the hard yards before releasing his debut album No Time for Dreamers last year. He spent decades working as a labourer in a string of seasonal jobs, making enough money to allow him to pursue his passion for song. No Time for Dreaming is the culmination of that passion; you can hear it in every note sung in his unmistakable raw timbre.
You can experience Charles’ distinctive brand of soul at the following shows next month.
10 March 2012 – The Hi-Fi, Melbourne
12 March 2012 – The Powerhouse, Brisbane
16 March, 2012 – The Factory, Sydney
18 March 2012 – Corner Hotel, Melbourne
