    Any musician in Nashville has heard of Charlie McCoy. A mainstay in Music City since the '60s, Charlie has played on dozens of hit records, including work for such legends as  Elvis Presley, Simon & Garfunkel, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and many more. 

    For many years, Charlie McCoy has been the undisputed Dean of the Nashville Sidemen and champion of the studio musicians and background singers in Nashville and elsewhere.  Charlie is the consummate multi-instrumentalist picker; winning numerous Country Music Association "Picker of the Year", Grammies, and many other awards and distinctions.

    But the work that has distinguished this world-class harmonica player is contained on more than two dozen  albums that Charlie has released over the past 3 decades.

    Charlie is known all over the world. He performs every year in Europe and Asia, most frequently France, Japan, and Denmark. His European backup band is made up of Europe's finest  musicians and is second to none.
