Biography

Craig Havighurst: Writer-Jounalist with Music City Roots Nasvhille:
Tim Carter represents two vital traditions of the Appalachia region that raised him. One is folk and bluegrass directly from the old America. The other is the equally valuable tradition of spiking those genres with contemporary ideas, hearty grooves, instrumental improvisation and a happy Southern good time. He’s a fantastic singer and banjo player, and he’s a resilient, determined artist as recent years have proven.
