Charles Esten and Clare Bowen

Charles Esten currently stars on CMT’s NASHVILLE in the role of Deacon Claybourne.  After starting his acting career in Los Angeles, he was pleased to make his theatrical debut in London, portraying Buddy Holly in the hit West End musical “Buddy.”

Esten has performed 100 live shows over the course of the last year, all while filming NASHVILLE 10 months out of the year. Last summer, along with his NASHVILLE castmates, he sold out three shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

A singer and songwriter who began performing on stage when he was in college, last year Charles became the only artist ever to release 54 consecutive songs via his #EverySingleFriday project (July 2016 – July 2017).
