Charming Disaster

Macabre musical duo Charming Disaster performs tragicomic duets and murder ballads about love, death, crime, and the paranormal, exploring in song the various kinds of trouble a couple of people can get into with a ukulele and a guitar. Their inspirations include the gothic humor of Edward Gorey, the noir storytelling of Raymond Chandler, the stylish aesthetic of French new wave film, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret. Carnival performers, con artists, sinister secretaries, and ancient gods make appearances in their songs, against a shifting backdrop of nightclubs, car chases, circus tents, the afterlife, and beyond.

“In their murder ballads, they’ve created the perfect balance of fun and frightening storytelling.” –The Ruckus
