March 28, 2008


Any musician in Nashville has heard of Charlie McCoy. A mainstay in Music City since the ‘60s, Charlie has played on dozens of hit records, including work for such legends as Elvis Presley, Simon & Garfunkel, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and many more.

But the work that has distinguished this world-class harmonica player is contained on more than two-dozen albums that Charlie has released over the past 3 decades.

Charlie is known all over the world. He performs every year in Europe and Asia, most frequently France, Japan, and Denmark. His European backup band is made up of Europe’s finest musicians and is second to none.

Charlie served as the music director for the hit syndicated TV show, “Hee Haw” for 19 years, in addition to directing music for the “True Value Country Showdown,” the “Arthritis Telethon,” and various other television specials.

Charlie was given the “Musician” award from R.O.P.E. in 1994, elected to the German-American Country Music Federation Hall of Fame in 1998, and to the Hall of Fame of the North American Country Music Association International in 2000. In March 1995, Charlie joined the staff band of the “Music City Tonight” show on TNN, and stayed until the show ended in December of that year.
