Godwin drops "Family Ties" video
The release is Godwin's third album and first with Big Loud Records.
Blending solo performance footage with archival scenes of a variety of different families, the "Family Ties" music video also features cameos by members of Godwin's own family – his wife and kids, his parents, his brother and his family dog. The video was filmed in Godwin's hometown of Morgantown, West Va., where Godwin will play a run of four sold-out shows at the Metropolitan Theatre in December.
The 19-track "Family Ties" is out Sept. 22. Godwin demo'ed the songs that would become "Family Ties" on a Tascam 4-track (thanks to his love for Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska") and then recorded them at Echo Mountain in Asheville, N.C. before he signed a record deal. He recorded the album with his long-time band, the Allegheny High, and long-time producer, Allegheny High guitarist Al Torrence.
=Fresh off a run opening arena shows for friend and collaborator Zach Bryan, Godwin begins his own fall headline tour today in Colorado. Many of the shows are already sold out, including Godwin's first-ever headline shows at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Dec. 7-8.
In 2024, Godwin will join Luke Combs on 12 dates of his "Growin' Up and Gettin' Old" stadium tour. Godwin is also confirmed for the 2024 edition of the Buckeye Country Superfest on June 22, 2024 in Columbus, Ohio alongside Bryan, Billy Strings, Turnpike Troubadours and Charley Crockett.

CD reviews for Charles Wesley Godwin
If "Live From the Steel City" is indicative of a typical Charles Wesley Godwin concert, then it's safe to say you get your money's worth at such an event. Clocking in at just under two hours, Godwin somehow manages to keep the band's energy and the audience's enthusiasm up the entire time. The in-between songs patter about how great the Pittsburgh pro football team is obvious pandering because any objective football fan knows the Steelers are mediocre at best. ...
