There’s a new face out there you might’ve seen.
It belongs to Charlie Sexton, a 17-year-old guitar player from Austin, Texas. Charlie is much more than a guitar player, however—as one listen to his debut album, Pictures For Pleasure, might tell you. Very simply, he is a major new talent who’ll be in the news for years to come.
Who is he? Well, if you’ve lived in Austin for the past few years, you already know. But if you haven’t, why don’t we let Charlie himself tell you a little bit of his history, beginning with his first band, the Eager Beaver Boys? And keep this in mind: he started that band when he was 13!
“That was sort of rockabilly-esque rock n’ roll,’’ Charlie comments about that same first band. “Old rock ’n’ roll type stuff. Then we started getting a bit more straight rock ’n’ roll. Then it started being more...crazy rock ’n’ roll—like, Jimi Hendrix rockabilly.” Charlie pretends he’s holding a guitar in his hand and makes a loud whooping sound.
