West Virginia’s Charles Wesley Godwin has announced the release of his latest album, “Live From The Steel City”, on 26th September 2025. The live album was recorded at his sold-out show at Stage AE outdoors in Pittsburgh, the track list being described as “nothing short of a crash course on Godwin’s influences and deep discography.”

It’s rounded out with covers of Tyler Childers’ ‘Whitehouse Road’ and John Denver’s West Virginia referencing ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’.

About the album, Godwin said: “I’m so pumped to share the live show the boys and I have curated in bars, clubs, theatres, amphitheatres, arenas and stadiums over the last several years. There’s just something about the energy of a live crowd that you can’t replicate in a studio, and I think that shines through on this album in a big way. Stage AE was a special place to be on 14th September 2024, and come [the release date], everyone can experience it with us. Let’s go!”

Goodwin has released no less than three songs that preview the coming project – ‘Cue Country Roads’, ‘Family Ties’ and ‘Hardwood Floors’. Each is a key moment in Godwin’s live show. You can find them on streaming services or Godwin’s YouTube channel, and you can watch ‘Cue Country Roads’ right here.

Whilst here in Nashville I’ve managed to catch Charles performing live as part of “Americanafest” and he was absolutely amazing! Looking forward to this release 😁

Whilst here in Nashville for “Americanafest” I managed to catch Charles perform on Broadway and he delivered a simply stunning set! Really looking forward to this release. 😁

Hi Alan. Sounds like you’re having a great holiday. Already jealous of you having managed to see Charles Wesley Godwin live, but looking forward to hearing what you’ve got lined up next.
