About the Artist
Charlie Leissler is a singer-songwriter from northwest Iowa whose music leans on personal stories, small-town imagery, and stripped-down acoustic instrumentation. A self-taught guitarist, Charlie has released two albums, Over the Dam and January Journey, which reflect the quiet resilience and warmth of his rural roots.
He has played at a range of community venues and benefit events, earning a reputation for performing with authenticity and clarity. His style sits somewhere between folk, Americana, and soft acoustic rock, always delivered with a calm presence that invites listeners to slow down and take it in.
A Saturday Soundtrack of Shared Stories
