About Me

"Jay Carter stands head-and-shoulders above so many of the singer-songwriters working the circuit. His effortless groove and red wine vocals never cease to delight."- Tristan Seume (Guitarist magazine)
I am a 25 year old Guildford based songwriter, currently recording and performing in and around the greater London area in the band New Rising. (click top friend link below for more info)
I have played on the same bill as Martin Harley, Mungo Jerry, Goldie looking chain and many more. I am always interested in new venues and nights, enjoying a good gig as often as possible.
This year I am proud to be gigging and recording with percussionist Adam Knight going under the name of 'New Rising'. This is a nice stripped down acoustic set up with rich harmonies and a fresh raw sound. We are now on the look out for a Bass player to complete the line up. (Have a read of the 'Bass wanted' blog for more information.)
Currently making an album working with producer Nick Sowden. (Rock track of year 2004 - British Academy of composers and songwriters). If you want to hear some of his production go to Anna Tabbush's site following the link below.) It's looking promising so I will get some of those tracks up as soon as they are ready.
If you have any questions about gigs, events, or tuition feel free to contact me I'm all ears.
If you want to be updated about gigs and events drop me a mail headed 'Mail list' and I can put you on the mailing list.

If you're going to make it down to a gig, learn the chorus of the last song and we can all sing it together. Looking foward to playing for you live soon and hope you enjoy the music.
