Charlie Zahm Celtic, Maritime and Traditional American Music

Charlie Zahm is one of the
most popular soloists at Celtic music festivals, Maritime and Early American
music events anywhere east of the Mississippi. With a baritone voice some have
described as "coming along once in a generation," Charlie has become
one of the most successful performers on the Celtic festival circuit, weaving
magical moments of Scottish and Irish history for the listener and viewer, with
passion for the performance and a chosen repertoire pleasing to all members of
the family. A master of the guitar as well, Charlie brings an authentic love
and respect for the music he sings—and with dashes of humor and a light in his
eyes, he will draw you into the stories of his songs!



 



Since
he's been old enough to sing, Charlie has been entertaining audiences with the
beautiful Celtic songs and melodies he first heard in the largely Scottish
province of his mother's birth, Ontario, Canada. Keenly aware of his own
heritage, which includes healthy doses of Scottish and Irish blood on both
sides of his family, Charlie has collected several hundred popular (as well as
beautiful and obscure) selections and performs them for thousands of fans up
and down the Eastern Seaboard and across America. Today, as one of the most
sought-after Celtic singers on the East Coast (he is one of the few singers in
the world to be invited to sing live with Scotland's "Black Watch"),
Charlie performs regularly everywhere from concerts and festivals to television
shows and Celtic-themed Caribbean cruises, where his 6'4" frame and
powerful baritone make him one of the most memorable performers around.

"Charlie Zahm
is a big man with a powerful and expressive  
singing  voice. Listening to him
sing Scottish and Irish music is like a deep draught of a thick, heady stout,
rich in taste and body.”
– Tom Knapp, Publisher, Rambles.net
