About Charlie Daniels:
Fiddle-playing country music icon and Grand Ole Opry Member, Charlie Daniels has been performing and perfecting his craft for over 50 years.  His style is an exhilarating mixture of rock, country, bluegrass, blues and gospel.  He was nominated last year for a Country Music Award for Vocal Event of the Year for his performance (along with George Jones) of Aaron Lewis’ song “Country Boy” on R&J Records.

Daniels’ rebel anthems “Long Haired Country Boy” and “The South’s Gonna Do It” propelled his 1975 collection Fire on the Mountain to Double Platinum status.  He won a Grammy Award in 1979 for “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” and was on the soundtrack for the hit movie “Urban Cowboy.”

His charitable work includes the annual “Christmas 4 Kids” charity concert which funds shopping holiday sprees for underprivileged children at the holidays.  In his eleven years supporting the program, he has helped provide special shopping trips for more than 4000 children.  He is a vocal advocate of preserving American freedoms and has authored “Ain’t No Rag: Freedom, Family and the Flag” on what freedom, family and the American flag represents to him.
