Moonlight Label presents a new Michael Charles 2012 limited edition box set.

Suitably titled the “Cross Over Collector’s Box, this set is filled with an array of treasures from Michael Charles’ closing days in Australia, through the crossing over to America, to the beginning of his USA career.

Representing MC’s homeland discography, you will first discover two original 1987-1988 45 vinyl’s of the ever popular Long Way To Go and She’s My Woman taken from the 1989 LP, The Wind.  Likewise, the front label of the box itself is a replication of the actual 1989 photo shoot sheet for The Wind LP.

The box’s true cross over feature is MC’s cassette and CD entitled “My Shadow”  These 1996 releases started with recording sessions in Australia and were completed in studios in the USA.  Also form My Shadow, the collection holds original autographed artwork from the My Shadow CD, framed lyrics of the most loved title track, “My Shadow”, and an 8 X 10 glossy from the 1996 photo shoot for the My Shadow project.  

      Happy New Year! 2012, the year we have been waiting for!  But here at Moonlight Label we always welcome in the New Year as it feels like an exciting new beginning and an awesome continuation of all that was good from the year before!

      Little like Bill Murray‘s “Groundhog Day”, January and the Road Dawg 2012 Tour will start  out just like the past three years………….MC will be heading way out west and then touring up all across Canada .  Just about the worst time of the year to travel that way,  but some of the most awesome venues, with one of the events being at Blues On Whyte for seven shows in six days.  Safe travel, MC!
You may all have been patiently waiting for an update from Moonlight Label Connected newspaper.  Well here is the latest………………
The Michael Charles Connected 2011 tour is in mid-year and in full swing. The year started out with a cold and long trek out to Wyoming and then up to one of Michael’s most famous venues Blues on Whyte in Alberta Canada. A favorite there, MC performed his week long nights of shows  and then made his way back to Minnesota for an encore performance at Legend's and then over to Fargo North Dakota where he did two shows at the Fargo North Dakota Blues Fest. After a brief stop back to his home base in Chicago, the band started back out to Wyoming and this time added Colorado, Utah, and Washington to the itinerary.  Next stop, after some rough and steep and icy mountain travel was beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. Charles spread his talents on the stages of several venues and was fortunate to gain new audiences and connect with new following.
    We would like to introduce our monthly newsletter called the “Connection”.  Do you suppose there is a chance that it was aptly named because of  the Moonlight Label release “Connected” ?  Actually it was named for the 2010 release and all the present decade’s technology.  At this point in time, and for the first time ever we have the awesome ability for all us to become so easily “Connected”!  At the flick of the switch or the roll of a thumb,  from every inch of the globe, from every walk of life, and every age we can now link up with each other.  I know it has been said through the years and I hope not to sound cliché, but what a Great Time We Live In! Our own Michael Charles has his version of “Connected”.   It’s music, of course, what else?  About five years ago Michael Charles met up with a Chicago hip hop artist, Magisty.  Long story short, they put their minds, hearts, and talents together and connected Blues and Rap.
Moonlight Label announces Michael Charles to start his international travels once again in January 2009.

Appropriately named, the Recall 2009 Tour, as it is a celebration of Michael Charles' new CD compilation release entitled "Recall", and recalls performances at some of the venues he and his band played during the 2008 Full Circle Tour. After an extremely successful jaunt out to Arizona in November to headline at the Arizona Blind and Deaf Children's Foundation fundraiser, Michael and the band returned to Sammary Studio for some recording sessions before preparing for the 2009 tour. January took MC and the band to Montana for a couple of key shows, along with a live taping for television. Continuing on up to Canada they performed a series of venues until the very last day of January. On the first of February they returned to the studio for a quick regroup before taking to the skies for the Australian leg of the tour where they did a few key festivals along with new venues and were also welcomed back by venues they played during The Full Circle Tour of 2008.
