Charlie Paxson: news

I spent the week before Thanksgiving at Red Star studios recording with Rickie Lee Jones. Here is a pic of the drums from some point during the sessions! I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Charlie!

Some you tube clips from the Yokohama HIMURO show - Karaoke style!

Hello Everyone!
This is a clip of the video for the single "Real" by the band BINECKS. I recorded their new album in Japan while on tour with Himuro. BINECKS features Daita on Guitar and Tessey on Keys from Himuro's band! I had a great time making there record. Everyone in the band and staff were a pleasure to work with! Check it out! (and no, thats is not me in the video!)

I am back in California! The Himuro tour was AWESOME! 3 months in Japan! Great shows, all sold out! Great people, good to see all of those from the 2007 tour again and great to meet new friends as well. Fun times, great shows, amazing food. Thank you to HIMURO, the band, the staff and all of the fans! Hope to see you all again!



I also had the honor of recording with the band BINECKS. BINECKS features DAITA from HImuro's band and Siam Shade on Guitar and Tessey from Himuro's band as well! The record will be released early 2009. (DAITA is a MONSTER gutiarist)



Coincedentally, the one and only Marie' Digby happened to be in Japan promoting the Japanese release of "Unfold" while I was there! I joined her on percussion for some promotional performances!

Hello everybody! I haven't updated my website in a while! (sorry!)

I am excited to say I will be joining Himuro on his upcoming tour in Japan!! It will be great to play with my friends Daita, Honda, Oshima, Nishi, and Tessey again


I am writing this from a tour bus in Philadelphia PA, I am here to do some shows the talented Marie' Digby.(www.myspace.com/mariedigby). I recorded her record and it was released last month, the single "Say it Again" has been doing well on the radio, and her video has been added to VH1. I have also spent some time on the Alison Krauss/Robert Plant tour with the opening act Sharon Little. Sharon's record comes out very soon and I am on two tracks. By the way watching Krauss and Plant every night was amazing , what voices! I highly recommend going to check the show out!


Also I am recording new music so stay tuned!

Take care,
Charlie
