The Charming Men

About Me

The Charming Men began as a musical and social experiment between unversity friends Nicholas Schulze and Shawn Cantin. The idea was to create a band that had a true collaberative spirit. A musical collective of various artists regardless of style or experience. The main focus of the loosely formed band is the creation of music that is unique and truly representative of independent style.

The Charming Men are currently working on putting together their first cd. Myspace Layouts Myspace Generators Myspace Codes
