Carl's country roots run deep. A native of rural Southwest Kansas, he grew up on a farm . The Beatles, Johnny Cash and John Denver were some of his earliest musical influences. Carl's music journey started at age 15 when his grandmother bought his first guitar. Shortly after graduating High School, Carl Moved to Alabama where his dad lived. In 1989 Carl began playing guitar in country and southern rock bands around Norhtern Alabama. He also studied music at Wallace State College in Hanceville, Alabama (1990 - 1992). In 1993 he decided to strike out on his own as a country songwriter. By 1998 he began traveling the short distance across the Tennessee state line up to Nashville. There he would work with other writers, hone his writing skills, and promote his songs. Carl is a BMI affiliated songwriter. He has had some of his songs recorded by artists. Carl's most recent writing credits came when Nashville recording artists "Little Memphis" cut two of his songs on their new "Let Me Down Easy" C/D. Carl wrote the breakout single "Hope He's Good Enough" and the heart felt love ballad "Through My Eyes". The C/D was released in early 2008. Carl also landed cuts on Leon Venerable's new "Best Life" C/D, and the new Brian Wyer C/D with a song he cowrote called "Simple Southern Man". Both C/D's were released in late 2008. Carl wrote a catalog of songs for Captain Kidd Music in Nashville,TN. from 2003 - 2009 and worked with the late Scotty Turner for over 15 years.
