A taste of Texas in the nation’s capital, a bit of Dixie in the District, Sawdust Charlie plays both kinds: country and western. And a healthy dose of rock and roll to boot.
You can expect songs by the likes of Waylon Jennings, Bob Wills, Billy Joe Shaver, Merle Haggard, Doug Sahm, Gram Parsons, John Prine, Neil Young, Warren Zevon, and more.
Sawdust Charlie stumbled out of the remnants of Human Country Jukebox (who played more than 1,500 live shows over the years) to keep smooth, lonesome pedal steel sounds and tasty, smoking Telecaster licks alive and prowessed in DC.
As a working band of veteran DC-area musicians, we've played bars, clubs, breweries, festivals, corporate events, parties, and weddings. So whether you're looking for a band to rock your bar all night or one with the professionalism to play tamer background music and provide a PA setup for speeches at your event, Sawdust Charlie has you covered. Please don't hesitate to reach out; we're always looking for a good excuse to play!
