Charlie Farren & Candy O'Terry

Charlie Farren grew up in Massachusetts and has long been known for great songs, great singing, and for outstanding live performances. On stage Charlie captures an audience with his unique delivery, insightful lyrics, memorable songs, soaring vocal, and subtle yet innovative guitar style. It wasn't always quite so subtle, as Charlie began his career with a history of successful, hard-crunching rock bands throughout the 1980s.  

Charlie emerged onto the national scene in the early '80s after teaming up with Aerosmith lead guitarist Joe Perry and releasing an acclaimed album on CBS. In 1986 Charlie, along with Dave Hull and John Muzzy, formed Farrenheit and released a self titled debut album on Warner Brothers. Three singles from that album as well as video exposure on MTV, established Farrenheit as one of the premier new rock acts.  Farren's 1999 release, 'Deja Blue' earned him new national respect, not only through his masterful songwriting and soulful vocals, but in his ability to reinvent himself as an artist.

Charlie continues to be one of America's most original and compelling musical artists. His latest effort is a duet with Candy O'Terry called "You Are The Only One."  

Candy O’Terry started out as a singer and also has a very successful career in radio. Born in New York City and raised in Connecticut, Candy moved to Boston to dive for Boston College and became a silver medalist in the Massachusetts Intercollegiate Swimming and Diving Championships. She was a two-time finalist on Star Search, fronted a band throughout the '80s and was a successful jingle singer. 

She has recorded and released "The Gift" & "Valentine" with Grammy nominee Jim Brickman (which are also heard on LiteFavorites.com).  Candy has also performed at Symphony Hall with Keith Lockhart & the Boston Pops, at Boston’s Shubert Theatre and the Boston Garden. You may have even heard her in the air as the voice of "Connected" aboard American Airlines flights worldwide.  

She has been honored by the Gilda Radner Foundation for her work on behalf of women’s cancers and is the spokesperson for the American Cancer Society’s "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" walk and is the recipient of the "Media Hero Award" from the American Red Cross. Candy is also President of the American Women in Radio & Television/New England Chapter.
