Timeline

1968

Charles Wayne Sexton (born August 11, 1968) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter.

Sexton is best known for his years as a guitarist in Bob Dylan's band, though also has become well known as a music producer.

Sexton co-founded Arc Angels and created the Charlie Sexton Sextet.

1982

Under the moniker Little Charlie, he played about 16 dates with the Joe Ely Band in June 1982, after guitarist Jesse Taylor broke some bones in his hand.

An observer at the time commented, "Several older guitar players are somewhat miffed but the chemistry is A+".

1983

Sexton performed under the name Guitar Charles Sexton on Juvenile Junk, a five-song EP by the group Maxwell (a.k.a. the Eager Beaver Boys) in 1983.

1985

He was still a teenager when he gained fame for his 1985 hit, "Beat's So Lonely", from his debut album, Pictures for Pleasure.

When he was four Charlie and his mother relocated from San Antonio, Texas to Austin—where clubs such as the Armadillo World Headquarters, Soap Creek Saloon, the Split Rail and Antone's exposed him to popular music.

He moved back to Austin at age 12 after a brief period living outside Austin with his mother.

When Charlie and his brother, Will Sexton, were still young boys, they were taught how to play guitar by Austin legend W. C. Clark—known as the "Godfather of Austin Blues."

Charlie's first band was the Groovemasters, fronted by Lubbock native R.C. Banks.

Sexton released his debut full-length album Pictures for Pleasure in 1985.

Recorded in Los Angeles when he was 16, it yielded the Top-20 hit single "Beat's So Lonely".

Jon Pareles of the New York Times described him as "a teen idol singing David Bowie-style rock during the years he was promoted by MTV".

The album spent 34 weeks on Billboard magazine's Billboard 200 albums chart, reaching No. 15.

It also spawned three Australian Top-100 singles—with "Beat's So Lonely" peaking at No. 17.

The song was featured in the movie Some Kind of Wonderful, but was not included on the commercial soundtrack.

1987

Sexton was an occasional opening act for David Bowie on his Glass Spider Tour in 1987, and appears on the Glass Spider video playing guitar on The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and the Velvet Underground's "White Light/White Heat".

While he was still in his late teens, Sexton became a popular session player—recording with artists such as Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Don Henley, Jimmy Barnes and Bob Dylan.

He also recorded My Time with the artist who gave him his start—R.C. Banks.

1988

Sexton worked for a time with his brother Will Sexton in 1988.

Will and the Kill released a 38-minute, self-titled album featuring both Sexton and Jimmie Vaughan.

The album was recorded at Fire Station Studios in San Marcos, Texas, with Joe Ely producing, and released via MCA Records.

Sexton later contributed songs to various motion picture soundtracks, including True Romance and Air America—and made a cameo fronting a bar band in Thelma & Louise.

1991

Sexton had previously played with Dylan during a pair of Austin, Texas, concerts in 1991 and 1996, and on some demos recorded in 1983.

In 1992, Sexton formed the Arc Angels with Doyle Bramhall II (son of Doyle Bramhall, one of Stevie Ray Vaughan's writing partners), and Vaughan's Double Trouble rhythm section, composed of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris "Whipper" Layton.

The name originally was spelled as ARC Angels, named for the Austin Rehearsal Complex, where they practiced.

The blues-rock band released a self-titled album on Geffen Records that same year.

The Steven Van Zandt-produced disc was well received by fans and critics, but the band broke up in less than three years.

1995

Sexton formed the Charlie Sexton Sextet in 1995 and recorded Under The Wishing Tree, released on MCA Records.

Although sales were disappointing, it was met with critical acclaim.

In the meantime, Sexton continued to perform with other artists—appearing on such notable albums as Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels on a Gravel Road and Shawn Colvin's Grammy-winning album A Few Small Repairs (uncredited).

1999

Sexton was hired by Bob Dylan to replace Bucky Baxter in 1999.

2001

Sexton continued working with other artists; in 2001, he produced Double Trouble's Been a Long Time, and Jimmie Vaughan's album Do You Get the Blues? (2001).

2003
