The Tin Pan Alley Podcast

© The Tin Pan Alley Podcast; Intro melody by Brooke Alexx We talked about the Beatles vs. Rolling Stones, vulnerability and mental health in the music industry, ageism, songwriting and productivity in the age of Corona, and why it is important to be connected to likeminded artists and producers. ---- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlieltgrantmusic/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCharlieGrantPage About Charlie: UK native Charlie Grant got his first break in music as a songwriter for hire, landing cuts with Melanie C, Michael Patrick Kelly, Simply Red, Michael Schulte, Marco Mengoni and Leslie Clio, along with newcomers like Iris and Lxandra. However, the original dream of writing and releasing music as an artist in his own right refused to stay quiet for long and kept pestering him from the back of his mind...so, pulling in favours and forming a new currency based on pints of beer owed to various musician friends and studio owners, Charlie got used to recording in the dead of night and set to work on a heartfelt set of songs focused on musicianship, storytelling, and song craft. Crash & Burn is the latest release from Charlie, who has been steadily building a fanbase with his 2020 releases Stranger’s Eyes, Whatever Your Heart Desires and Wide Open. Crash & Burn was recorded in isolation between two Berlin studios in late 2020, Producer Jonathan Kluth taking Charlie’s home recorded vocals and guitars and building a soundscape around them in one inspired, late night session at his home studio. A fully independent artist, Charlie has had his songs added to more than 300 playlists on Spotify and on German radio he’s had more than 2,000 airplays on around 40 different stations - most notably his songs I Got The Fear, Love Letters, Astronaut, and Stay Down.
