Breakout Country Artist Carter Winter Teams Up With A-List Producers For New Release

  NASHVILLE, TN - 06/03/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

Breakout country artist Carter Winter has teamed up with acclaimed Nashville producers Mark Bright (Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts) and two-time Grammy Award-winning producer Chad Carlson (Taylor Swift, Cole Swindell) for The Whiskey In Me, a five-song EP releasing June 28, 2016. The first single, "Lipstick On My Bottle" will hit the iTunes store June 7 and be featured on playlists through digital music service Spotify. The release of the EP will be followed by a late summer full-length album.

The nine-song album release of The Whiskey In Me will deliver a stand-out collection of songs either written or co-written by Carter and is the much-anticipated follow-up to his 2015 EP Some Kind of Fire which reached the #15 spot on iTunes Top Country Albums Chart. Fueled by a fan-base enamored with his edgy live show, the artistic maverick gained enough notoriety to play shows alongside some of the biggest names in country music (Sam Hunt, Chase Rice, Travis Tritt).

Fitting every bit the part of the man in black, singer/songwriter Carter Winter is country music’s modern traditionalist. Hailing from rural Ohio, Winter has an impressive social media following of fans that have organically connected with his heartfelt and relatable songs landscaping heartbreak and the American dream poured over ice. Delivering a rich vocal performance likened to Josh Turner, Carter is distinguished by his respectful nod to the country artists he grew up on (Garth Brooks, George Strait) while unapologetically paving his own way in the genre from behind his guitar and sleeves of tattoos. 

“The most ready to blow up in my opinion is a guy named Carter Winter,” Grammy-award winning producer Chad Carlson told host of The Producer’s Chair James Rea. “He has a really deep, amazing voice, but it’s kind of a more aggressive music that’s a little more technology-based.”

On pace to play over 100 shows and festivals coast-to-coast this year alone, including the Hard Rock Cafe stage at the upcoming CMA Music Festival, Carter was touted by Whiskey Riff as one of six new artists to watch. “Carter’s voice is such a standout,” says co-founder and editor of Whiskey Riff Steve Gazibara. “He’s the perfect blend of traditional and new school. Without a doubt, one of the best ‘country’ voices out right now.”
