They Said It........

"Electrifying and hard driving original rock/folk/blues and new~grass music......Superb songwriters on a level all their own......Stunningly precise musicianship performed with a seemingly effortless and totally joyful demeanor. The Carter Brothers are intense onstage without trying to be and the whole time they make you feel as though you're sitting in their living room for your own private jam session. Brilliant! They're the real deal folks"......Dave McAdams, Dublin Times

"Masters of their craft. Incomparable. True American originals, these guys"....Winston-Salem Journal

Brothers Break Silence In Nashville:

Tim and Danny brought the Carter Bros Band to the infamous "3rd & Lindsley" in Nashville for a 50 minute set. New drummer Dann Sherrill made his official debut performance with the band and was awesome! Dann played all the drums and percussion on Danny's 'Barcelona' album you my recall. Key West drummer Randy Murrow will continue to do the Bros Key West gigs. It was the Carter Bros first performance in their adopted hometown in more than 4 years. Look for the band to start gigging around town a lot more in 2008 when they're not on the road!

*TreeHouse Studio and the Bros home The TreeHouse will soon be going through a major construction project. A 1,100 square foot addition will be built onto the existing structure. The new space will accomodate the Bros new studio/recording area....new control and editing room/new main recording room/3 new isolation booths/lounge area and outside deck space. Construction will begin soon...!


*...Danny's critically and commercially acclaimed debut folk/rock/blues solo album 'Barcelona' continues to climb the charts in Europe. All 9 tracks on the album are getting significant airplay in Eastern and Western Europe. Maverick Magazine, the highly popular U.K. music mag recently gave the CD 4 stars and heaped much praise on the album in the Feb. '08 issue and sales have soared! A heavy promotional push is planned for 'Barcelona' in N. America beginning this Summer '08...!

**Tim's solo debut 'Bang Bang' continues to heat up the bluegrass-americana charts in the U.S. Tim's CD is also named as one of the Top Ten best banjo related albums of 2007 along with good friends Bela Fleck, Tony Trishcka and Pete Wernick, by the editor of Banjo Newsletter magazine.

>>>...Both Bros continue to do interviews, radio and print media, to push these two great and unexpected albums of original music. They are in the meantime co-writing the new Carter Brothers Band album to be recorded in 2008...the first Carter Bros album in 4 years...!

They have been touring together for more than 20 years, blending bluegrass and electric instruments into their own signature style and have developed a sizeable following in Europe as well as the US and Canada.
