Short bio:

Born in Miami, Florida, Charles Reynolds began performing professionally 20 years ago in Atlanta, Georgia and has enjoyed a career of innovation ever since. Now a seasoned performer on a wide array of instruments including the incredibly difficult to master, Chapman Stick, his techinique on Stick, bass, guitar and vocals has been entertaining crowds along with his unique storytelling, improv and spoken word in elaborate sets of performance art all over the east coast; he brings the same energy to his touring show, and the testimonials of years of satisfied clients speaks for itself.

“I highly recommend that anyone who appreciates the value of experimental art attend one of his future performances.” S.C. Sparks - The Tampa Bay Indie

Charles has recently established himself as a film composer has released two albums with songs chosen to reflect a diverse range of musical styles, and has toured in support of these albums, written and performed custom performance art pieces for exclusive events such as Guerrilla Art in St. Pete, burlesque and Roma gypsy explorations, as well as being featured as a regular performer on the stage at Roanoke's own Mysterium.

Do you live/work, or have lived/worked in the Greater Roanoke region? (os attended CityWorksXpo)

Live and work in Roanoke

What is your stake in Roanoke? Helps us identify you as human!

Focusing all my efforts on bringing the best artists I've found on the road together to live and work in Grandin as the new home for artists in this region. So far, several have relocated from Tampa Bay to Grandin and I have offered my home and studio space as a sort of unofficial safe house, or perhaps even acted as an ambassador of sorts to those finding their way to Grandin. I have refocused my artistic output to feature and promote the artistic nature of Grandin Village by creating the experimental theater group, the Grandin Ensemble, and desperately want for there to be a community driven artistic presence in Grandin, not in place of, but in support of all the local artists that currently reside here. We are a proud intentional community that stretches over 777 miles, and everything we have done thus far has been specifically done with Grandin Village in mind.

Who referred you? This is how we give credit!
