Join us for Music and Pizza on the Pavilion with Charlie Roth

To support this music program there is a $5 cover charge for this event for folks 17 years and up. You may pre-order your ticket or purchase at the door.

The Bard of Saint Cloud, the songwriter, the song finder, the consummate showman, the man of 1000 songs, the storyteller, the world-traveling troubadour, the recording artist, Charlie is all these and more. He has been honing the craft of singing and playing guitar and harmonica for over 40 years and still having a great time doing it. He plays and sings from his heart and can make you recall good times, laugh, and cry, often in the same set. His music has healing qualities.

ENTERTAINER

I have learned and forgotten at least a couple thousand songs; I can still hold in my memory several hundred and perform them solo or with a band. I have always loved learning songs and consider that fun. I have also learned not to play songs that I have grown tired of, because to do a song justice you must first know it by heart and then, most importantly, have your heart in it. Perhaps by learning all those songs I have trained my brain to think lyrically. I started writing my own songs early on, and it is a mystery where they come from, you will be just plunking along and suddenly it just happens. I had been playing music for my living for 20 years before I made my first record. I now have made nine albums and I sell them wherever I can to help fund my traveling habit. In my set I usually mix songs I have written in with songs I love and wished I had written.
