 New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Charles Walker Band Official Website) - The Charles Walker Band, appearing at Famous Daves May 20th in Minneapolis, MN, has rifled throughout America's musical history and uprooted anything that has soul. The Milwaukee based five piece band performs funk, R&B, and of course, blues, while completely blurring the lines of all three genres. This female fronted band, though unique in style, sounds like Sly and the Family Stone meets Sharon Jones and keeps the audience on the floor in every city. The band released their fifth CD 'Used and Defiant' last October, which has been described in Soul Bag magazine as '[An] entire album [that] grooves deeply and there is never a dull moment, proving the bands tremendous genius... An album with diversity, spontaneity, and wholly gratifying, this album appeals to a wide spectrum of listeners.'

This is the band's second appearance at Famous Daves, and this show promises to be even more energizing and dance oriented than the first. The show begins at 8:00, so even if you are an early riser, you'll be able to catch this act. The band's roots promise to reach out to every listener.
