Streaming Goes Dark

I’m switching music distributors due to problems with the old one. Everything has been down from most streaming platforms since Friday, July 25; it’s still available on this site and on Bandcamp. It may be days or even weeks before Kharlie M returns to Spotify and elsewhere, but rest assured, he will be back. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Updates

August 10

Come On, Kharlie M has been released to streaming and is currently on most services, including Spotify.

August 11

The Child in You and With These Songs We Wed have both been finalized for distribution; so far, only Amazon has them live, but the others should soon follow.

August 12

Three albums are up on Spotify, Amazon, YouTube, Tidal, and iHeart. Deezer only has COKM. Apple Music is still dark.

August 13

All streaming platforms linked from this site now have three albums. Together with Wendi was finalized for distribution at 7:34 pm CDT and was already up on Amazon, Tidal, and iHeart by 10 pm.

August 15

All four albums are available everywhere.

Newly Remade Album Out Soon

July 3, 2025

Kharlie’s latest album, Together with Wendi, is a remix/remaster of 2023’s Especially for Wendi. Numerous subtle changes have been made to the audio; some pitch corrections have been made to vocal tracks. The track order has been redone for a smoother listening experience. Even the cover art is new. Watch for the revised album to drop on various streaming platforms as well as on this website on Friday, July 18; CDs will also be available.

NOTE: There’s a delay in getting this album to the various streaming platforms, as the company that does this is currently swamped with new releases and hasn’t gotten to this one yet. Please listen from this site or on Bandcamp for now, and thank you for your kind patience.

UPDATE: I just dropped it on this site and Bandcamp at noon on Wednesday, July 16. A listening party is set for Thursday at 7 pm CDT on Bandcamp; you can join as early as 6:30. Kharlie will be available to chat about the music at that time. Just tap or click on the album cover here to go to the page on Kharlie.com.

The Work Continues

May 7, 2025

Since the release of With These Songs We Wed on February 14, I’ve been working “behind the scenes” on both new and old recordings.

Especially for Wendi, released in 2023, is being redone as My Gift to Wendi. Twelve songs are completed, with two to go; one of those is brand new. The four older songs will not appear on the new album, but will become part of The Umm Collection, a remake of my 2007 Umm… album that will likely have one extra song added.

Work will resume very soon on the next NEW album, Songs in the Key of M, which will include such “classics” as Coffee, The Little Mmm Guy, Practice, and Go Ask Your Mom. This promises to be a fun album to listen to as well as to produce. More new albums will come after that.

In the meantime, catch me at the Open Mic at Mocha Moment, a great coffee shop on the south side of Janesville, Wisconsin, every first and third Wednesday from 5:00 to 6:30 pm.
