\ PETERBOROUGH \

Peterborough’s live music community is in shock today after learning over the weekend about the sudden death of 33-year-old singer and visual artist Charlene “Charlie” Earle.

A Facebook post by Ryan Weber of The Weber Brothers local band exemplifies the pain and confusion that seems to surround her unexpected passing on Friday, the day after she appeared with the group at the local Red Dog Tavern.

“Charlie I played with you at the Red Dog just this Thursday….just three little days ago. What a night of triumph….all anyone could say is WOW. From your first note you shook the room, you shook the hearts of everyone there, and it just continued and intensified all night long. Song after song, note after note, bigger and more brilliant. I was in awe as was every single other person, you had the whole room right with you, right with you, feeling your heart…

“I don’t know how we got to where we are now from where we were in those moments after your sets ended Thursday night….how this is where we are. How this realization of what’s happened now slowly settles in and becomes reality,” the post says, in part.

The band has also announced it will hold a special commemoration/celebration of Earle’s life this coming Sunday from 1-10 at the Red Dog.

Earle, who also worked as a bartender at another local music bar, The Garnet, and occasionally performed as Charlie Maine, was in addition a painter whose acrylic works were displayed at the Red Dog as part of a March art crawl show.

The Toronto native who moved to Peterborough in 2012 was best known “for her powerhouse vocals in the style of Etta James, Aretha Franklin, and Tina Turner,” according to an article on kawarthanow.com written by Bruce Head, the publication’s managing editor.

“She sang backup vocals with Beau Dixon’s band Slips & The High Fives and, from 2013 to 2014, was the lead vocalist in the band Little Fire along with Dave Tough on guitar, Aaron Cavon on bass, and Brandon Root on drums.

“More recently, she performed with local musicians including the Weber Brothers, Rob Phillips, Pat Temple and the Hilo Players, and others.  Earle had recently formed a new “modwave” band called Nudge, with Erika Nininger, Will Dobbin, Rick Sloukji, and Brandon Root,” the kawarthanow.com article adds.

She was also scheduled to showcase this coming Saturday, July 27 at Oakville’s Moonshine Café with her own Charlie Earle Trio that woul have included Weber and Rico Browne.

The kawartha.com article also includes links to several posts on social media by local performers shaken by Earle’s passing and paying tribute to both her talent and a nature described as warm and kind.

A cause of death has not yet been publicly announced, but Head refers to her demise as “a developing story” that will be updated when more information is made available.
