Charlie King and Karen Brandow are musical storytellers and political
satirists. Their repertoire covers a century and a half and four
continents. They perform with the sweet and precise harmonies of life
partners. They sing and write passionately about the extraordinary
lives of ordinary people. "Two voices that complement each other
beautifully & instrumentation that is spare, acoustic & just right" --
Victory Music Review.

Charlie and Karen are favorites at the IMC. In a tradition that goes
back to Woody Guthrie (and earlier), they sing union songs, anti-war
songs, feminist songs, immigrant songs. They sing organizing songs and
protest songs. They sing songs to set us free. If you want to stop war
and stuff you've got to sing loud and that's what Charlie King has
been doing for 35 years. His songs have been recorded by Pete Seeger,
Holly Near, Ronnie Gilbert, Arlo Guthrie, and others.
