About Me |
|
| Sharing a mutual love of old time music, Charlie Beck and Charmaine Li-Lei Slaven began performing together as the duet, Squirrel Butter, in spring of 2005. Having met at the Portland Old Time Gathering earlier that year, they soon discovered they lived merely blocks away from each other in Seattle. The pair began street performing, and soon realized that their individual styles, sense of rhythm, and tendency towards the quirky and obscure blended well together. It wasn't long before they began performing at venues off the street. Charlie Beck, hailing from Indianapolis, Indiana, is a highly accomplished musician. His mastery of guitar and banjo come from years of consistent study. He is well versed in jazz and swing, is an avid enthusiast of old American blues and string band music, and his repertoire includes a bushel of these beautiful and haunting tunes. A talented songwriter, Charlie's original compositions combine modern approaches with traditional styles, giving his songs a unique sound. Charlie is an outstanding vocalist, and also plays brilliantly on fiddle. Charmaine "Lady Li-Lei" Slaven, from Stevensville, Montana, is a gifted dancer, and her skill at traditional buckdancing is phenomenal. She is also an adept rhythm guitarist, ukulele player, and vocalist. Her clear, strong singing style is reminiscent of the Carter family, and she brings a fine repertoire of traditional ballads to the duet, along with several of her original works. Having recently completed their first tour, Squirrel Butter is anticipating the release of their first album. They perform frequently around Seattle, click here to see their schedule Schedule . In addition to this project, both Charlie and Charmaine are in The Tallboys old time string band. Charlie has also produced solo works, and plays Jazz guitar and banjo, and was recently involved with the Bastards of Jazz. The both offer lessons and workshops.
