CHARLIE CHRONOPOULOS is a country singer spinning dark folk tales of the post-industrial wasteland of Middlesex County, delivered always with the same glowing hope it took to root for the Sox for a hundred years.

Born in Lowell, MA, Singer/songwriter Charlie Chronopoulos got his start performing as a guitarist in regional lounges and ballrooms, sharing the stage as a teen with classic acts such as Grand funk railroad, Cheap Trick, and the Doobie Brothers. He went on to produce his own indie records and work as a session guitarist for several multi-platinum and Grammy winning artists including Serj Tankian (System of a Down) and Shirley Manson (Garbage).
His latest effort “Dead end” is a stripped down compilation of songs that play out like short stories, centering around the lives of family and friends he witnessed struggling with addiction during his time performing in lounges in greater Lowell, MA. While the subject matter is often heavy, Chronopoulos writes with empathy, and a type of war humor that serves to counter the narrative of backwardness and poverty.
BEN WRIGHT’S music has been compared to bands like The National, Nick Drake, and Beck, and his baritone vocals have been compared to Leonard Cohen. The music tends to be on the darker side, melancholic and reflective and is typically considered folk rock. Though Ben Wright uses interesting electronic elements and sometimes gets a little too heavy to be called folk.
