Okoboji, IA — June 6, 2025 — This Friday, the lakeside air at Mullets Okoboji will hum with heartfelt harmonies and soul-stirring storytelling as Charlie Leissler takes the stage from 4 PM to 8 PM. An Iowa native and gifted troubadour, Charlie brings decades of musical craft, lyrical depth, and emotional resonance to every performance.
Leissler, a self-taught guitarist and singer-songwriter, made waves with his 13-song debut album “Over The Dam”, a powerful collection of original music reflecting life, loss, and love in the Midwest. His songs — including local favorites like “Cherokee,” “River Bottom,” and “We Are One Now” — showcase poetic lyrics, rich harmonies, and deeply personal themes that connect with audiences of all ages.
A regular in local jam sessions and praise bands, Charlie’s performances are rooted in gratitude and community. His influences — from Crosby, Stills & Nash and Neil Young to James Taylor and Joni Mitchell — flow seamlessly into his original work, creating a musical experience that is both nostalgic and new.
