Art Carter
Art Carter is an American “Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Entertainer. His music blends Country/Rock/Blues/Reggae/Gospel, and squarely fits in the category of“Americana/Country.”
Growing up, I listened to artists like “Billy Joel”, or Motown Greats like the “Temptations.”Since I am originally from New York, I mostly performed Rock’n-roll & R&B. But I would always hear something on the radio by Ronnie Milsap or Hank Williams Jr. blending Country, Rock, and R&B that drew my attention and that I really liked.
When I moved to Florida I got exposed to “Garth Brooks”, and loved it. That is why my music is a blend of Country, Rock, and R&B”, or what is called “Americana.” That is what I am.
I have opened for Country Legend Loretta Lynn, as well as been in the opening line up for Canadian Country Band Emerson Drive.
Songs from my previous two studio album releases “UNBOUND” & “Freedom Rains” have chart as high as #2 for individual countries on the ECMA Charts (European Country Music Association.)
