Melbourne singer songwriter Charles Jenkins will perform a series of dates in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland over the coming months to introduce songs from his new album ‘When I Was On The Moon’.
‘When I Was On The Moon’ is literally a home-made album. Charles recorded every song in his spare room in less than a week in December 2018 using one mic and one guitar. It was mixed by Colin Wynne at 30 Mill Studios in January 2019.
