Travels with Charlie

http://votedavidholmes.com/

On January 1st, 2010, Charlie Faye pulled out of her hometown of Austin, Texas, to embark on a modern bohemian adventure.  In 10 months, Charlie will make her home in 10 different towns.

Instead of landing in a city, playing a show, and then taking off the next day, Charlie will spend a month getting to know the people and personality of each place she makes her home; somewhat similar to John Steinbeck's aim when he wrote Travels With Charley.

Traveling alone, Charlie will put together a new band in each town.  Starting each month solo, Charlie will expand her performances to include her new band and before she leaves that town will record a song with that band.

In addition to performing her original roots/rock music, Charlie has the goal to “teach something and learn something in each city.”  She will focus on teaching music workshops, and her learning experiences will be as diverse as the towns she will call home.  She will work with a carpenter, a mom-and-pop health food company, a radio station, and learn new skills all along the tour.
