We’ve just signed Charlie Savigar as a brand new Rotosound endorsee! Charlie’s a classically trained pianist, and originally set off to pursue a career in sports until her music came to the attention of Status Quo legend Francis Rossi. Refusing to let such a promising artist pass him by, Francis taught Charlie to play guitar and put her on the course to where she is today (he says in his autobiography that Charlie plays better than him – quite an accolade!). Charlie writes and arranges all of her songs and plays both guitar and piano live and in the studio. Influenced mainly by Bonnie Raitt and Shelby Lynne, Charlie also lists Pearl Jam and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club as inspiration for her music, which features an eclectic range of styles from rock and country to funk and R’n’B. She’s recently been recording an EP and is currently performing with her exciting live band, and has been working on new material with fellow Rotosound endorsee Alex Lofoco. Charlie uses our Tru Bronze 11 strings and Roto 11 strings.
