Charles Esten

In the organizer's words:

Multi-talented Charles Esten is a global entertainer. Known for his roles as Ward Cameron in the Netflix hit series Outer Banks and Deacon Claybourne in ABC/CMT's Nashville, the artist and songwriter will present his long-awaited independent debut album "Love Ain't Pretty" on January 26, 2024 and bring it live to Hamburg (May 3, Fabrik), Stuttgart (May 4, Im Wizemann Halle), Munich (May 6, Circus Krone) and Cologne (May 7, Carlswerk Victoria) during his tour of the same name a few months later.

With more than 14 million streams of his music already, Esten holds the Guinness World Record for the "most consecutive weeks in which a music act has released a single digitally" in 2018, having released an original song once a week for 54 weeks.

The actor and country singer has performed over 160 times at the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and completed several headline tours in the US, Germany, Amsterdam and the UK, including famous venues such as the Royal Albert Hall. In 2023, Esten returned to the stage with select members of the Nashville line-up for 'NASHVILLE - The Reunion Tour' with sold-out dates in the US and UK, described by the Birmingham Mail as 'an evening of feel-good fun', while the Daily Mirror praised an 'impressive set of show classics and solo material'. In April/May 2024, he will take 'Love Ain't Pretty' on the road for thirteen solo shows in the UK and Europe.

Esten is also a National Honorary Spokesperson for the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Society's annual Light The Night Walk and Musicians On Call.
