Charlie Wayne is one of the founding fathers of the 80s L.A. metal sound fronting bands Black Knight & Hawk as well as playing in various LA bands with members from BulletBoys,Poison,GNR,King Kobra and Keel. In 1995 Charlie Wayne packed up his guitars, songs and family and moved to Nashville, TN. "After all," he says, "This is where some of the world's best musicians reside." Charlie formed the band CHARLIE WAYNE & CRAWDAD CREEK, forsaking his hard rock edge for a mix of Country and Southern Rock. Charlie made CRAWDAD CREEK a family affair by featuring his son Charlie Jr. on drums as well as his sister Kitty Wayne on vocals. CHARLIE WAYNE & CRAWDAD CREEK hit the Top 40 Country charts with the single "RAISED ON COUNTRY" and another song titled "HEAVENLY GRACE" received substantial airplay. Charlie got back to his rock roots in 2000 in the form of the CHARLIE WAYNE BAND recording an album titled Scarecrow and later on a live album called Unchained and Live. In 2003 Charlie recorded a solo album titled This Train that sold 500,000 copies in England alone. The year 2004 brought another effort from Charlie in the form of a band he put together called THE TICKS and they released an album appropriately titled Infected. By the end of 2004 Charlie and his friend of many years Ron Keel (STEELER, KEEL, IRON HORSE) teamed up to form the duo KEEL & WAYNE. The project was Charlie's brainchild, grown out of a desire to team up and combine talents with his old friend who also had a similar background and style. In 2005 KEEL & WAYNE toured across the USA playing KICK ASS music to sold-out venues. They also have a debut video I Gave It All To You that is getting lots of airplay on CMT. Charlie and Ron also formed another side project THE ACOUSTIC OUTCASTS. The OUTCASTS featured Charlie and Ron plus Terry Ilous (XYZ), Kelly Keeling (BATON ROUGE, MICHEAL SCHENKER, and GEORGE LYNCH) and JK Northrup (XYZ, KING KOBRA) playing acoustic versions of their hits in a format that you have to see to believe! In late 2005 Charlie released "The Best of Charlie Wayne - The Metal Years 1985-2005" that drew great reviews in the US and Europe. In Feb 2006 "Charlie Wayne & Friends - Meet The Posse" was released and in May of 2006 Charlie released a Live CD from a lost tape featuring his old band THE TICKS titled "Raw, Live & Infected". Charlie has been spending his spring and summer of 2006 touring and playing guitar with the BulletBoys, playing venues in the midwest and east coast as well opening for the Poison/Cinderella Tour. In early June 2006 with his friend Ron Keel's recommendation Charlie was invited to take Ron's place as the frontman for IronHorse so that Ron could devote more time to other projects. Charlie has eagerly accepted the position and looks forward helping IronHorse take it to the next level. Look for the new IronHorse CD "Change My Religion" to be released in the near future and check the band site here on myspace at www.myspace.com/ironhorsetheband.CHARLIE WAYNE IS VERY PROUD TO BE AN ENDORSER FOR DEAN GUITARS!
