Folk musician Charlie Marks discusses his winding path to a fulfilling life of music and nature. After an aimless period post-college, some breakdowns, and living out of his car, Charlie found his way through small steps like open mics and odd jobs. Learning the clawhammer banjo clicked for him, and he's since released several albums. Now living a rural life in Reno, Nevada, Charlie reflects on using music as self-expression and finding inspiration in old folk songs.
