shows in his performance. While traveling from city to city, the band
entertains itself with banter and it’s no different on stage. When the
music pauses, Charles and Porsche banter back and forth or with the
audience. What creates the most excitement is when the crowd becomes
involved and furthers the banter.

The band has opened for numerous national acts
including Aaron Nevelle, Robert Cray, BB King, Richard Marx, Eddie Shaw
(Howlin Wolf’s Sax Player), Booker T, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Bernard
Allison. The band has been featured on Fox News, NBC “Live in the
Morning” and was the featured artist on the Blues Revue (2010) and Soul
Bag (2007) sampler CDs. "The Charles Walker Band’s experience and
spontaneity make every evening an unforgettable night."

Blues Matters! magazine says, “…we
are treated to the full panoply of…styles, great tunes, intelligent lyrics
and superb instrumentation throughout.”
