CHARLIE FLOWERS AND THE HARVESTERS
Well it looks as if Charlie Flowers has a "Tiger by the Tail." In a little store front just off the main drag we found Charlie singing his heart out to a great bunch of fans, many of which had followed him from Wilson, NC. It speaks well of an artist when their fans follow their performances. Rocking to the beat of traditional country hits, Charlie can also wind it down to a slow southern whine from the past -- "Borrowed Angel." Charlie's been kicking around these parts for a good while. Teaching is his day job, but any way you want to squirrel it up Charlie's got it all.
