Doc Carter

Doc Carter is a Corpus Christi-based singer-songwriter blending Americana, country, blues-rock, and folk with a laid-back vibe that's all his own. Originally from North Hollywood, California, born to vocalist Sheila Carter, he grew up as an "Army brat" traveling the U.S. before settling into his music career, kicking things off with longtime producer pal Matt Grundy (from Donovan Frankenreiter's band). He's played legendary Texas spots, swept songwriting contests to earn his 2017 induction into the Corpus Christi Songwriters Hall of Fame (where he's now a board member and festival organizer), and dropped his debut full-length *High Tide For Low Times* in 2021 on his own Blowing Sand Records—packed with hooks like "Heading West," "Taking It Easy," and "Tomorrow."

By day, this emergency physician, surfer, kitesurfer, husband, and dad of four channels influences like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, John Prine, and Townes Van Zandt into fresh tracks, with recent releases like *The Leaving Kind*, *Rolling On*, *Coconut Road*, *Pura Vida*, and more keeping the momentum going strong on Spotify and beyond.
