Musical Charis

Let the songs write you!Musical Charis formed in the summer of 2008 as a male/female 4 piece with the intentions of creating an encouraging, light-hearted atmosphere for songwriting and creativity. "Charis" is the Greek word for gift, so the name literally translates to "Musical Gifts" Since then, the group has grown into a cabaret of multi-instrumental musicians who constantly tour, write and record new material. The band even made time to open "Musical Charis Music School" for low-income families in Sacramento. Members of the band teach private piano, guitar, and voice lessons to over 50 youngsters in the area. "People People" (JMB Records) the 10 song full length album released on July 23rd, 2010 was co-engineered by John Baccigaluppi (Editor of Tape OP Magazine) "Forward" may be the highlight of the ten track record, a catchy indie rock number that is in a class of its own on this album. The instrumentation here and throughout the record is extremely impressive, as each band member know their own roles. This makes for a wonderful chemistry that is audible even in a studio recording." [Absolute Punk] Musical Charis recently toured back to Sacramento, CA after a summer spent recording their upcoming album (March 2011) in a lighthouse in Southern Texas. They will begin their 2 month, full U.S. tour with Blvd Park (Spaghetti Western Folk from Seattle, WA) in March of 2011, to promote their new album.
