The Charities

“Rock ‘n’ Roll for the brokenhearted.” The McCharmlys are a five-piece combo from Santa Ana, California, currently taking the music scene by storm with their stylish blend of doo-wop, surf, beat and 60s style rock ‘n’ roll. LA Weekly called the band “an absolute joy” as they “recall sounds from past while adding a contemporary edge that is attractive to punk, new wave and rockabilly fans.” Taking their name from an obscure Beatles interview, the band’s influences range from The Ramones and Roy Orbison to the Beach Boys. Their lush sound is rounded out by layered harmonies and instrumentation that has captivated audiences across the country. Paired with The Charities, these two bands are the rising stars of rock ‘n’ soul. About the opener: The Charities, hailing from Hermosa Beach, California, are on a mission to bring their twist on funk and soul music to the ears of the world. Their music draws influence from funk, soul, motown, jazz, disco, R&B and even jam oriented rock n’ roll. Taking an improvisational approach to live shows gives The Charities an opportunity to blend these influences in an organic way that is always unique in each moment. The exchange of energy between the audience and the band builds into an experience that cannot be expressed in the studio.
