If you thought you knew had Charlie Bedford’s sound pegged after hearing his recent single “(The Out of Town) Laundromat Blues,” his latest release will prove you wrong. “Violet Street” is a much more soulful endeavour fused with elements of pop-rock. This genre blend goes down easy. It’s just the thing I can imagine being a big hit on radio if the stations ever played new Aussie music!
Charlie recorded this one at Guffland Studios in Naarm/Melbourne with Mark Lowrie on producing and engineering duties. It comes from his soon-to-be released album Daydream, which based on his recent singles is sure to keep us guessing. Expect to hear “Violet Street” and more new tunes when Charlie plays the following shows:
4 April 2025 – Red Lion Hotel, Ballaarat/Ballarat
4 May 2025 – Shiraz Republic, Kulin Country/Cornella
24 May 2025 – Broken Hill Pub, Wilyakali Country/Broken Hill
