BluesAlive Festival Echoes

Charlie Nightingale Revue has been successfully presenting rock n roll and blues in all shades of these enchanting genres to the domestic and European audience for more than fifteen years with great acclaim. The music of this quartet is uncompromisingly vibrant, lively, played with unbridled energy. Original repertoire is a hallmark of CHSR's performances. The band's most recent recording to date, A Nice Reminder, was made by the frontman with renowned American musicians at the famed Sound Emporium studio in Nashville, TN. New CHSR member, guitarist and music producer Tomas Frolik, is also contributing to the next upcoming CD.

Charlie Slavik is a composer, lyricist, and the most acclaimed harmonica player in the Czech Republic. In 2013, he was the only Czech ever to participate in the prestigious IBC International Blues Competition in Memphis, TN, where he advanced to the semi-finals. His ability to use the instrument across genres is evidenced by the many recordings he has been featured on as a soloist. He has performed with a variety of national and international bands in Europe as well as the US. He has also recorded a number of film scores. He is a corporate player of the German company Seydel - the oldest manufacturer of mouth organ in the world.
