Charlie Collins is a twang artist from hailing from Australia and she’s set to release her debut on 5/31 via the fine folks Mirror Music Group. Her vocals remind me of Margo Price, which is about a nice a compliment as I could toss around. Here’s some info from the PR team.
Charlie Collins’ primary influences are perfectly versatile. She picked up a guitar at age 11 and learned to busk old country classics from the likes of Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and Emmy Lou Harris. The sounds of dirt roads and dive bars lay a gravelly foundation over which her sheepskin-soft voice could ring. Charlie took to more modern sounds in her early twenties, fronting alt-pop outfit Tigertown. Now, she melds the range of experiences into something both grittily heartfelt and gleaming.
