Charles Ellsworth

Charles Ellsworth is a New York City transplant originally from the White Mountains of Arizona. He cut his teeth breaking into the Salt Lake City music scene during early adulthood and brought his red-dirt rock to the Big Apple five years ago. When he’s not touring the lower 48, he’s living in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn; playing the local circuit and being engaged with his community. 

Ellsworth’s lyrics and near-familiar melodies weave to tell stories of heartbreak and loneliness, while shining a light on the perseverance of the human spirit. A self-proclaimed “recovering toxic sadboy” — Ellsworth’s music has evolved with him. Through sobriety and self-exploration, Ellsworth has shifted from writing songs lamenting “the ones that got away,” to singing honest reflections about what caused them to leave.  

His earlier work was called 'a triumph for American songwriting...blending outlaw grit with a raw streak of self-awareness,’ by Declan Ryan of Independent Clauses. This ability to go from stomp-your-boots anthems reminiscent of Springsteen, to a simple love song in the vein of Townes Van Zandt makes Ellsworth a versatile songwriter and performer who appeals to a variety of tastes.

“Ellsworth builds narratives that are moving and relatable...which fuses the best of country-rock sentiment and folk-rock frenzy.” - Lizz Corrigan
