SCOTTY CHARLES

“Scotty Charles” “Up All Night” isn’t just a new album; it’s a meticulously crafted, deeply personal time capsule, a ten-track celebration of the 70s funk, soul, and disco that soundtracked his childhood. You can feel the genuine love and lived-in experience in every note, from the shimmering disco strings of “Living for the Moment” to the gritty, wah-drenched funk of “Can U Feel the Funk,” each song is a testament to an artist who absorbed this era through his very pores. Rather than simply mimicking the past, Scotty has distilled its essence, injecting his own modern flair and lyrical perspectives into classic grooves, resulting in an album that feels both nostalgic and utterly present. It’s a labor of love and respect in paying homage without sacrificing originality, a vibrant, danceable, and emotionally resonant journey that proves the enduring power of the sounds that shaped them.

Raised on a steady diet of gospel, old-school R&B, and down-home blues, Scotty cut his teeth singin’ in church and belting out tunes at every area bar and BBQ that’d have him. Folks say his voice is a little bit Marvin Gaye, a little bit Otis Redding, and a whole lotta fire straight from his soul. When he steps up to that mic, you best believe he’s fixin’ to take you on a ride—whether it’s through heartbreak, redemption, or just a good ol’ time.

Scotty is looking forward to hitting the stage with a new live band in the spring of 2025 to support his upcoming release.
