Charles Wesley Godwin

Bio

When you release a project like Charles Wesley Godwin’s 2023 critically acclaimed Family Ties — a highly personal, 17-song diary-like LP that was both universally praised and also catapulted the West Virginian singer-songwriter to new heights in his career — the outside perception is that there are greater expectations on whatever music comes next. Ask Godwin, however, and he’ll tell you that instead of dwelling on any chatter that accompanied such a revered release, he did what he always has done: Godwin simply kept on writing.
