Michael Charles "Under The Covers"Anyone who has ever attended a Michael Charles concert knows the astounding guitar driven originals MC performs during his show but everyone is just as amazed to hear him play some great, personally chosen, cover tunes. Being special songs to MC, he keeps them true, but definitely gives them that MC twist.In answer to numerous requests from fans to have these tunes in their collection, Moonlight Label commissioned recordings of these special songs to be released as the “Under The Covers” CD Single series. Dedicating this collection as a tribute to his following, MC insisted on using only fan generated photography in the artwork for these singles. The photos being used on all the CD inserts were taken at his live shows.
The first of the singles, After Midnight, had a release date of late November and is available on MC’s official site, itunes, CDbaby, and many other networks.
Stay tuned for announcements on the next single in line to be released.
