BIOGRAPHY
Formed in San Luis Obispo, and still California-based, The Charities deliver an analog sound that feels familiar yet brand new, complete with smooth harmonies and songwriting reminiscent of the greats from the '60s and '70s. The band blends classic soul influences like Brenton Wood, The Delfonics, and Sunny and the Sunliners with a nod to modern R&B.
Working alongside their frequent collaborator, writer and producer Anthony Masino (Bruno Mars, Thee Sacred Souls), The Charities' early catalog contains stand-out tracks like “Angel Eyes” and “Bring Your Love,” and they have built on that work with recent releases through Colemine Records, including “Fatal Attraction” and “It’s Not Our Time.”
The band is workshopping new material at their sold-out live shows and anticipates releasing new music soon.
The Charities bring an energy that lingers long after the music has ended, whether experienced on the warmth of a vinyl 45 or via their dynamic live performances. Classics are classic for a reason, and The Charities are introducing their take on this timeless sound to new audiences.
