Charlie Oxford grew up in Dallas, Texas first picking up the guitar at the age of 12 listening, and learning after the music of local Texan legends like Buddy Holly and Stevie Ray Vaughan, as well as the anthems of the 90's from musicians like Dave Matthews and Ben Harper. Through his high school years, Charlie forged a unique guitar playing style that reflected the character of his early influences. Playing for friends and fans at parties and backyard gatherings, Charlie developed a sociable stage presence as well as a solid grassroots following in his hometown.
After moving to New Orleans to pursue an education in music business, Charlie's folk-pop songwriting was infused with the sounds of New Orleans and the local talent beside him. Eventually, his Texas singer-songwriter style united with the posture of classic New Orleans and the attitude of progressive pop. Rich electric blues giving way to pop-driven acoustic hooks create a music style that is both unique and truly exceptional.
