Baby Charles are a special band.
Their funky music is simultaneously tight but loose, heavy but soulful
and dirty... yet beautiful.

grooves. Inspired by the late 60's funk of: Eddie Bo, The J.B.'s and The Meters.
Baby Charles play by feel, and cannot
contain their drummer Alex Kirkwood from unleashing thunderous drum breaks...
"B-boys and B-girls, get ready...!"
