CC Carter Bio

CC Carter is originally from Memphis, Tennessee, and his first musical memories are of listening to old Jimmy Rodgers records and early Elvis Presley. Delta Blues, Country, and then Motown were all staples of his music loving family and of his formative years. Profoundly influenced by the songs of Bob Dylan, CC began learning the guitar and writing original songs at age 15. After many years of being a “back porch” musician, living and working in various towns and cities from Los Angeles to New Orleans, CC moved to the Sarasota area of southwest Florida. Immersing himself in the local art scene, he met guitarist Sir MCP and they formed the band Culture of Fear. Culture of Fear performed only original mostly political protest rock music in various live venues around greater Tampa Bay. CC is lyricist and singer for the band. Sir MCP currently resides in Atlanta. CC also writes Folk/Americana music and performs solo. CC Carter released his first solo CD, Kill Your Television, in January 2007, and it is available on www.cdbaby.com. Many of his singles, including Letter from Iraq, have been since receiving airplay on independent radio stations. He is currently working on his next release.
