Multi-instrumentalist CHARLIE ROSE started out as a youngster playing piano and trombone, but quickly became obsessed with the guitar. As a teenager, he studied Jazz and music theory and "learned to jam." His first year of college was spent studying music, but he ended up getting his degree in Geology. However, that didn't keep him from learning banjo, bass, and mandolin, and shortly after graduating he set out to get a job playing music.
Since then, he has worked with many great acts including the Asylum St. Spankers, Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, and the Crooked Jades.
Originally from Lawrence, KS, Charlie now makes his home in Boston.
