We were at the Paramount Blues Challenge yesterday in Waubeka, WI. There were some amazing musicians on hand for some scorching blues. At the end, Too Sick Charlie was selected by the judges as the solo/duo act winner. We’ll be headed to Memphis in January 2022 for the International Blues Challenge representing Wisconsin. This has been a year long quest as last year’s event was cancelled. I can’t express enough thanks and gratitude for those around me that made this journey possible......(you know who you are; the Too Sick Charlies VIPs)
CIGAR BOX GUITAR OWNER-OPERATOR
Too Sick Charlie and his Legendary One Man Band may call Wisconsin home but his music is deeply rooted in the blues of the north Mississippi Hill country. With his 3 string cigar box guitar he picks out hip-grinding licks and lays down some solid beats with his drum kit. And throw in some harp for good measure.
“It’s the small band with the big sound.”

HEARD ON THE STREET
Too Sick is Too Sick: Gut bucket guitar, blues, and smooth, high-livin' honey in a whiskey jar for pipes.

You've got a blues act that sends me straight down South. Inspired swamp slide sounds.
