Charlie Painter is a self-studied, self-producing, Madison-based guitarist, teacher, and band leader. After nearly a decade of weekly gigs under his belt, Painter has grown into a fearless improviser, embracing both electric and acoustic versions of his trio. Informed and eschewing cliche, Charlie's modern take on bop/Latin/big band standards will keep your mind guessing and feet tapping.
