About Me


Carl Gentry is an accomplished performing musician, singer and songwriter. His first professional band, Double Standard, was formed in 1989, and the band "gigged" extensively in and around the Delaware/Pensylvania college scene. He played lead guitar in this blues and classic rock band. From 1992 to 1994, he was a member of The Mike Dalton Band, performing Mike's original pop/rock music at legendary venues such as The Bitter End in New York City and the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Here, he displayed his guitar as well his keyboard talents. In the mid-to-late 90's, he played guitar and keyboards with the ever-entertaining Brian Kirk and the Jirks, a prominent New Jersey cover band. In various bands, he has opened for national acts such as Warren Zevon, John Eddie, and Southside Johnny.Today Carl performs primarily as a soloist, but he also can be found with various New Jersey acts such as The Bethanne Clayton Band, and the Carl Gentry and Billi Heath duo.Songwriting is also part of this versatile musician's treasury of skills. Infusing Americana, rock and folk, his compositions are rife with melodic hooks and compelling lyrics. It is his intent to find major label artists to cover his original material.His cover repertoire provides the audience with an assortment of music from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and today.
