Nick Charles

Listen before you go

A master of fingerstyle finesse and good humoured storytelling, Nick Charles stands among Australia’s finest acoustic guitarists. From Melbourne to the American heartland, he’s released sixteen albums across AU and the US most recently Further Down The Line (2024) weaving blues, folk and country with effortless grace and nods to the Great American Songbook. Dubbed by The Age as “Australia’s virtuoso of acoustic roots and blues,” Charles has shared stages with John Hammond, Guy Clark, Ralph McTell, Robben Ford, Junior Wells and Taj Mahal, playing 300+ US shows and just about every major Australian festival. With accolades including Port Fairy Artist of the Year, multiple blues/folk awards, and the 2025 International Blues Challenge Solo Guitar Award, his live sets are a study in touch, tone, and timeless melody, intimate, intricate, and deeply human.
