Rooted in traditional American folk music, award-winning songwriter Charlie Mosbrook performs music inspired by life during the pandemic and more. Register online, by phone, or in person for a link.

Award winning songwriter Charlie Mosbrook presents a program of new and traditional music, storytelling and humor in a new program inspired by events during the past year that he calls, Songs from the Pandemic. In addition, Charlie draws on a collection of music created during his 30-year career.

Audience can expect family-friendly, thoughtful lyrics and a rich baritone vocal with a finger-style guitar technique that draws on the roots of American music. 

Charlie Mosbrook is an award-winning songwriter, performer, and advocate for American folk music. Beginning his career in 1988 as a street musician, he quickly became a popular "open mic" host throughout Northeast Ohio.

From these early roots, he nurtured his songwriting, musicianship, and stagecraft and today performs for major festivals and concert series throughout the U.S. His recordings of original and traditional songs have earned him rotation on many popular folk radio programs around the world. As a folk music advocate, Charlie continues to organize local open mics, and serves as the president to FARM (Folk Alliance Region Midwest) and Folknet of Northeast Ohio.
