Charlie Mayfair | pl

In January 2010, a band was born: full of energy, bursting with love and spilling over with songs to sing and stories to tell. This band is Charlie Mayfair.

The first part of this year has seen the band racing around their hometown writing songs, making friends, and letting people experience their unique style of folk-fired pop. They hollered their gigs from the rooftops and Brisbane heeded their call.

And so their three-part-harmonised hollering led them to play at many lovely venues like The Powerhouse, The Troubadour, The Zoo and The Sound Lounge, sharing the stage with the talented likes of Montpelier, Tin Can Radio, Skipping Girl Vinegar, Loren, The Coronas (IRE) and Iceland’s Svavar Knutur, amongst others.

And now with hearts on their sleeves, they have made an offering that they can share with the world. Recorded in Brisbane’s 180 studio with producer Matt Whitehouse the result is their debut EP Watch My Hands.

Their first single, ‘Run’, released into the wild in February, has been gaining some fine feedback from listeners, especially after being featured on triple j Unearthed, where presenter Zan Rowe called it “a really sweet folk-pop song; lovely harmonies going on.”
With the finishing touches lovingly placed, Charlie Mayfair launched Watch My Hands at The Zoo in Brisbane on April 30 at The Zoo to an impassioned near-capacity crowd.

The following week saw them make a quick voyage to Sydney for their first interstate shows and it now seems certain that the quixotic quintet are ready to pack up their hearts and souls along with their sweet, sweet harmonies and share their music with the world. .
