Seaside Concert Series - Jimmy Charles

• Friday, October 17 @ 6:30 pm
• Bethany Beach Bandstand, Bethany Beach, DE

With an immediately-identifiable soulful voice, a magnetic personality, an empowered performance style and songs and lyrics that speak honesty and truth, Jimmy Charles is an artist on his way to shear greatness. He’s made a national name for himself with compelling original material and toured the country opening for Lady A, Montgomery Gentry, Kip Moore, Travis Tritt, Josh Turner, Merle Haggard and more.

The Ocean City, Maryland native headed to Nashville to pursue his music after graduating from Towson University. He tried out for Nashville Star and made it to the Top 50 out of 40,000 hopefuls. Jimmy would go on to earn a unanimous vote ticket to “Hollywood” as a Season 9 American Idol contestant. Jimmy spent many years paying his dues playing up to 12 shows a week in the Honky Tonks of Nashville and touring the country playing bars, festivals and other venues for little money.

While the singer/songwriter found early success in 2014 with his first single, “Whatever It Takes,” picked up nationwide by iHeart radio, it’s the power of “Superman” that solidified his place in the spotlight. Written for ZERO the End of Prostate Cancer to promote awareness with bandmate Goose Gossett and cancer survivor/mentor Phil Shulka, the song’s companion video premiered on CMT, trending in the #1 spot for over a week, with over 5,000 shares its first day on the site. The

clip also aired on GAC, ZUUS (now known as The Country Network) and Heartland, instantly putting Jimmy front and center before hundreds of thousands of fans.

Jimmy’s successes continue today, winning Nashville Industry Music Awards “Male Country Artist of the Year” and “Song of the Year” for “Never Had a Bad Day” and most recently "Male Entertainer of the Year" International Singer Songwriter Awards.
