Matty Charles

About

Matty Charles played a pivotal role in the revival of old-time and folk music that swept through Brooklyn, NY in the early 2000s. Echoing the historic scene of Greenwich Village from half a century prior, this resurgence centered around a few local venues and a select group of musicians. Pete’s Candy Store, a cozy bar nestled in a neighborhood of historic tenements, served as the epicenter. There, Charles and his trio, the Valentines, held a weekly residency that garnered a loyal and enthusiastic following.
