Hear an FUV Live session with Charlie Mars tonight at 9.

This modern troubadour from Mississippi has been making music since 1997. He takes a minimalist approach to his songs, stripping back any unnecessary sounds and getting right to the heart of the matter with his thoughtful lyrics and expressive voice. Mars explains his approach by saying, “I want to write records that are handwritten letters, not emails. I want to be a part of people making music and connecting, not computer tricks.” Charlie's new album, The Money, is out today and we’ll hear my conversation with him and some live performances of the new material on this episode of FUV Live.

[recorded: 9/19/14]
