Charlie Beale’s fiery blend of vintage funk, swing, jazz and delta blues, all given a 21st Century shot in the arm, first gained him recognition with releases such as BREAKIN’ DOWN BLUES EP (2015) contributing to the emergence of an Electro Blues scene which was much imitated worldwide. Spotify launched their own Bluestronica playlist and many like-minded artists appeared at the club nights and on compilation albums run by the label in both their hometown of Brighton and around the UK Festival circuit.

The DEJA BOOZE EP (2015) followed with further spots on the ELECTRO BLUES compilations from Freshly Squeezed. Charlie then intermittently released a series of bootlegs and various funk-based records while travelling the world.  In 2024 he returned to Freshly Squeezed with a new country infused EP that gave a further twist to the tale. In 2025 he released Bluestronic, continuing to evolve his sound, and taking inspiration from the old blues masters.

 Over a decade since his debut EP, Charlie is now poised to release his debut album on Freshly Squeezed. STEADY ROLLING is an amalgamation of everything we love about Charlie’s music, and most definitely worth the wait. The first single of the campaign WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN is a slow-burner built on dusty samples, vocal chants and a swaggering mid-tempo groove and is out now, to be followed by the full album on April 17th.
