NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS FROM CHARLIE OTTO + HIS GEAR

Progress on New Album “GET PERMANENT”

I’m hard at work on my full length album, what my brain keeps assuring me will be my first masterpiece. One very fun part is getting a good drummer to come in and smash, and I have the best drummer in the world for that, Matt Walker. Here is him rehearsing for a song called “versatile.”

Through my email list, I’ve been describing the songwriting and tracking process in detail, so feel free to sign up here, or even help me out by promising me some money when I finish the album on Patreon. I plan on making beautiful vinyl for this album, very excited.
