Enjoy songs, humor, and stories from his book "Lost Dog Found" about his rescued Bearded Collie. Attendees receive a free book! Register online, in person or by phone at 330.745.6126.

Join us for an enjoyable mix of songs, comedy, and stories geared for kids of all ages. Charlie will read from his book "Lost Dog Found," about his dog Greta. Greta is a Beared Collie who was dumped in the woods of Kentucky before she was a year old. She had a litter of pups before she was found and rescued. She was covered in burrs, ticks, tangles, and knots. She came to Charlie's family when she was thirteen months old. Greta tells Charlie stories as they walk, and he sings songs to her. He wrote the book of her life before they met. Attendees receive a free book!

A consummate musician, author, and comedian, Charlie Wiener has shared the stage over the years with the likes of Gordon Lightfoot, Randy Newman, John Prine, and The Roches, as well as rock notables Eddie Money, Jefferson Starship, Jeff Beck, Todd Rundgren, and many others. He has performed thousands of shows in nightclubs and colleges from Florida to Alaska, New York to California, and Ontario to Manitoba.

He believes that a good song is a good story told to music. Charlie Wiener combines story with song, sometimes in a humorous way, sometimes to illustrate, and always to entertain.
