It's been over 3 years since Charlie Mars released has last album, 'Like a Bird, Like a Plane'.  And while songs like 'Listen to the Dark Side' continue to play well on the radio, Charlie decided it was time to head back in to the studio.  He spent a few months at the end of 2011 recording the upcoming record 'Blackberry Light' in the hills on the outskirts of Austin, Texas.  During that time, Charlie played every week at the Saxon Pub where he tested songs from the album.  If the swelling crowds that showed up to see him are any indication, the new record will be a hit.  Standouts include the title song, 'Blackberry Light', 'Pacific Oceans', 'Picture of an Island', 'Back of the Room', and the dark 'How I Roll'.
