Backstory:

Charming Year was born out of a dorm room in the year 2013 at a university in Boulder, Colorado. Childhood friends Brian and Scott, who had packed up their guitars and dreams with their college books, found a unique musical connection in their roommate, a talented pianist named Amber. Late-night jamming sessions led to impromptu gigs at college events, and before they could graduate, they found themselves with a growing fan base. Their passion for music and their unique, harmonious blend led them to move to the music city of Austin, Texas, where they officially formed their band, Charming Year.

Their journey was anything but easy, but their incredible resilience, hard work, and undeniable talent led them to sign with a local record label. They released their debut album in 2017 and were met with an overwhelming response, cementing their place in the music scene.
