Charles has been performing onstage every year since he turned 4-years-old. Starting in musical comedies at The Original Scene, Charles went on to perform drama, summer stock melodramas in Estes Park, and eventually develop an internationally acclaimed and award-winning tribute to Elvis Presley called The Shadow of Elvis. He has performed with, opened for and shared the stage with Chubby Checker, Johnny Otis, The Temptations, The 4 Tops, The Coasters, The Platters, Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits, Paul Revere & The Raiders and countless others. He has headlined for National Conventions including Harlequin Books, Xerox, Lucent Technologies, Qwest (then US West) to name only a few. In 1992 he performed for over 5-million viewers on Italy’sMaurizio Costanza Show and sang the National Anthem for 70,000+ at Mile High Stadium.
