"Charlie Spring is an inimitable tunesmith, a veteran songwriter with a gift for penning achingly beautiful love songs.  At once reminiscent of Neil Young and Pete Seegar, Charlie's sincerity, wisdom and artistry (which shine through in his songs) are an inspiration." HarryO, Promoter, Big Step Down Productions, Seattle, WA

"Charlie Spring's debut CD recording, A Grateful Man, welcomes you like an old friend.  Reminiscent of the laid-back country folk of the seventies, it sounds like a guy playing music on his back porch.  The casual style is enhanced by skillful guitar work and a soulful singing voice, like Neil Young but without the whine.  The only thing we have to prove is what we prove to ourselves," says Charlie.  Whether he is proving it to us or to himself, Charlie did a nice job on this album." Betsy Welling, Victory Music Review

"I'm pleased to have had the pleasure to work with Charlie Spring.  His performance at the Bellevue Art Museum Fair Celebration Arts Stage received a very responsive and warm reaction from our fair-goers.  His precise and fluid musicianship kept the crowd engaged throughout his set.  His universal appeal and professional demeanor on stage far exceeded my expectations.  If you are looking for a musician for your event, Charlie Spring is an excellent choice.  He was a delight to work with during the hiring process, and we look forward to having him play future events for the Bellevue Art Museum." Caitlin Mullock, Bellevue Art Museum Fair Entertainment Intern, Bellevue, WA

"Thank you for your music and your Truth.  An honor to have you on our stage". Clint,  Soul Food Books, Redmond, WA
