He plays his new stuff and some of the great older stuff as well. My favorites were "Turn Off The Lights" and "Life of the Party".He's quite the performer. They were collapsible and when they stood with their arms straight up, they were like stretched out fans glistening in the lights.His rich voice filled the room and the crowd was silent for a time, then they started singing the chorus with him.Ĭharlie really got into the music. I was excited to see two ladies walk on stage in white costumes waving these magnificent sheer wings to the music. He didn't talk that long and jumped right into the show. He's a joy to see and gets the crowd really involved by asking questions right at the start and introducing his music.He was dressed in a really snazzy white suit.
