Last October at the Folk Music Ontario (recently renamed to Folk Canada), Charlie sat down with folk music journalist and broadcaster Jan Vanderhorst. That conversation was recorded and recently posted on the Roots Music Canada website. In the interview, A’Court discussed how his own mental health struggles of enduring the pandemic and the struggles of those around him shaped the sound and tone of his latest album San Palarino.
“I try to be kind of a happy-go-lucky fella, and I think a lot of folks see me as that,” he said.

In the article, Charlie A’Court also talks about the collaborative process of writing with other songwriters and how it was a necessary and cathartic decision to “get out of his own way”.
