Charlie A'Court

Charlie A'Court is a Canadian musician, songwriter and producer born with the gift of voice who grew up in rural Nova Scotia, Canada, where he spent his youth learning to play guitar while immersed in his father's vinyl record collection discovering singers like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins and Albert King made their way to the top of the pile and to the ears of a young, imaginative A'Court. He was particularly influenced by Eric Clapton, stating that Clapton's music showed him that his music could balance between blues and adult contemporary songwriting. As a six-time East Coast Music Award winner and eight-time Nova Scotia Music Award winner, A'Court has earned awards for Blues, Pop, and R&B/Soul Recordings of the Year, and on multiple occasions been recognized as Entertainer of the Year. A'Court has also received multiple Maple Blues Award nominations including Male Vocalist and Songwriter of the Year. He has toured extensively throughout Canada, Australia and Germany. Charlie A'Court has enjoyed headline performances at national and international festivals like Stan Rogers Folk Festival (CAN), Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival (CAN), Great Southern Blues Festival (AUS), Woodford Folk Festival (AUS), repeat performances at Kerrville Folk Festival (USA) and has shared the stage with James Cotton, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, George Thorogood, Harry Manx, Martin Sexton, Delbert McClinton, UB40, Canned Heat, Colin James, Dan Aykroyd and Jimmie Vaughan, among countless others. In 2017, A'Court launched the Charlie A'Court Scholarship for Excellence in Music, a $500 bursary awarded to a Nova Scotia high school graduate who is continuing his/her music education in university or college. His warm, soulful vocals and exceptional guitar work have made him one of Atlantic Canada's premier blues artists.
