TEXAS BORN. SONGWRITER. STORYTELLER.
I’m Charles W. Smith, a Texas-born singer-songwriter bringing classic country, acoustic covers, and original songs to life with a deep baritone voice, a six-string guitar, and a whole lot of Texas soul.
Recording my first original song taught me something I wasn’t expecting. Learning music isn’t just about training your fingers and your voice. Sometimes your ears have to catch up too. And apparently mine finally figured out that 70 BPM is too dang slow. 😂🎸🎙️
An old gospel song got me thinking about life as a railroad journey. We spend a lot of time worrying about what’s around the next bend, when maybe we’re only supposed to handle the stretch of track we’re on today. 🚂🎸
A Jason Boland song put Guthrie, Oklahoma on the map in my head, so I decided to go see it for myself. A little road trip about old towns, live music, new friends, and how sometimes a song doesn’t just tell a story. Sometimes it gives you directions. 🤠🎸
