Charles Brennan Gregoire is originally from the Eastern Townships in Quebec – he was born and raised in the Sherbrooke area. He was interested in music at an early age and took several years of piano and theory lessons prior to moving on to first classical guitar and followed later with Acoustic and Electric guitars.

Charles was involved with bands during his time at Champlain CEGEP in Lennoxville, Quebec. He was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with a professional drummer, which led to performing in a local venue. A few years later at UNB in Fredericton, New Brunswick, he performed with a band in the Red and Black Review, campus events, and on local television. He also taught guitar and wrote original material.

After graduating from UNB with a BSc in Electrical Engineering Charles was recruited to join a high-tech firm in the Ottawa area in 1982. Since then, he has performed at local venues, weddings, Christmas parties, church services, family gatherings, seniors’ residences, and nursing homes. His singing repertoire includes an eclectic combination of Old time, Folk, Celtic (Irish, Scottish and Welsh), Country, Old time Jazz, 1950- to now Pop, and International selections arranged for Acoustic Rhythm guitar and Voice. With the magic of technology many of the songs Charles plays include a background rhythm track to add to the sound of his voice and guitar.

Charles resides in Carp, Ontario, with his wife, Heidi. They enjoy yoga and travelling.
