Growing up outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Charlotte Morris discovered her passion for music at a young age. After starting violin lessons at the age of four, Charlotte taught herself how to play the guitar, piano (and melodica), ukulele, banjo, acoustic bass guitar and mandolin, and began taking her songwriting seriously by the age of twelve. Describing her unique style as genuine, raw and emotional music with a purpose, Charlotte takes inspiration from female story-telling artists like Delta Rae, Brandi Carlile, Sara Bareilles, and The Chicks.
In January of 2018, Charlotte joined Lonesome Traveler – a concert tour where the cast performed the history of folk music, starting with Woody Guthrie and ending with songs by the likes of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez. Charlotte released her debut EP “To New York, with Love” in June 2018, which received positive recognition from newspapers, music blogs and playlists worldwide. Since then, she has released a number of singles, including two “quarantunes” about the Covid-19 global pandemic, as well as a five-song EP (produced by Nashville-based Mitch Dane) entitled “Sputnik.” In the spring of 2019, Charlotte embarked on her first fully-acoustic tour, performing in over fifteen different cities across the United States, including Nashville, Austin and New York City. Charlotte released her first full-length album, “Songs For My Next Ex,” in December of 2020. The eight-part “story album” takes the listener through the highs and lows of a tumultuous, yet transformative, relationship. The album received rave reviews from both national and international press. She also recently made her Off-Broadway debut at the Cherry Lane Theatre in (The Making of) How to Save the World in 90 Minutes.
Charlotte majored in Theatre, with minors in Musical Theatre, Business and Marketing at Northwestern University. When the nomadic singer/songwriter is not writing or releasing music, she is an actor, personal trainer and avid crossword puzzle solver. Follow Charlotte on Instagram @Charmor17.
