Today's Spoken Label session features the wonderful Charlotte Mary, a country singer from Manchester, UK.

She is "a Singer/Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Manchester, UK. She sings feisty country-soaked songs about love, breakups and the assured swagger of a woman who knows it’s all about three chords and the truth. She’s worked hard to rise up through the Manchester gig scene earning her  place with standout festival performances alongside the likes of The Proclaimers, Kodaline and The Wonder Stuff. 

Her previous single, 2018’s ‘Dreamer’, was a sweet slice of foot-stomping Americana that earned a place on Ladies of Country’s Sounds of 2018 list alongside Kacey Musgraves and Kelsea Ballerini."

More about her can be found at her website which is http://charlottemary.co.uk/
