About Vendor

When former San Jose mayor Tom McEnery proclaimed singer Charles Williams the " Ambassador of song" of San Jose, there wasn't much one could really add. San Jose Mayor Susan Hammer bestowed the official honor of Ambassador of Song in 1987. As sole owner of one of the smoothest voices in the business, Charles offers a style and coolness that has no rival. The Charles Williams Revue is clearly headed toward star quality. Covering everything form Big Band, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Ballads, POP, and gospel. The Charles Williams Revue covers the classics along with original tunes packaged in a way to deliver for every occasion. From an intimate six-piece set-up to an all out horn section, The Charles Williams Revue delivers on demand.
