Godwin pays tribute to The Boss
Monday, September 23, 2024 – On The Boss' 75th birthday, Charles Wesley Godwin pays tribute to one of his foremost musical idols with a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "State Trooper" as well as a full band version of "10-38," which Godwin wrote from the perspective of the police officer in "State Trooper."
A portion of the proceeds from the release of "State Trooper" and "10-38" will go to the First Responders Children's Foundation, which provides financial support to children who have lost a parent in the line of duty as well as families enduring significant financial hardship due to tragic circumstances.
After releasing his third album, "Family Ties," in the fall of 2023, Godwin and his band the Allegheny High headlined plus spending the summer supporting Luke Combs on his Growin' Up And Gettin' Old stadium tour, and opened select shows for Turnpike Troubadours, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and Jamey Johnson.
Godwin goes on another headlining tour on Oct. 5 in Memphis.

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.
