Dear Friends, Fans, and Music Lovers
Summer is gone and I’m enjoying the beautiful Fall
season here in the SGV.Those mountains above Glendora
get awfully inviting this time of year and we
actually have some clear skies in Southern California !
In the meantime, I’m looking forward to some
new musical adventures, more tunes and guitar students.
So I need to write some lessons, practice some guitar
and keep honing those skills, baby …….
Stay tuned and drop by when you can..
Blessings………….Mark

Good friends Joe & Patty are celebrating
the 60th anniversary of their landmark restaurant
and I will be doing my Solo Show with a variety of
music this Sunday !!
September 10 5-9 pm
The Cock-A-Doodle

We had a blast opening for Larry Carlton
at the Coach House and so I thought we
would bring the Mark Carter Project
to a brand new hot spot in Covina
This will be a evening of music I wrote
and recorded and will feature my 5 piece
Jazz/Pop Band with guest Steve Alaniz on Saxophone.
We’ve done this show at Spaghettini, Brea Jazz Fest,
Shoreline Village, Claremont Jazz Fest and many more
but I think it’s time for Covina to hear this great band !!

“Summertime, and the livin is easy, fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high”
….George Gershwin
Well, I’m not much on fishing , but,
I am enjoying the summer, and a litte bit of down time. I started the month with a trip to see my son, his wife and 2 kids.We took a drive up to beautiful Park City Utah and had a great visit. The kids are full of energy and I got to take a Starbucks break daily and even help out with a little potty training….. Oh, the life of a Rock Star !
There have been some private parties this month and also in August. But I do have a couple of weekend dates open if you got a Pool Party or End of the Summer Bash ? ….Cow-a-Bunga Dude !!
There are also a couple of cool things in the works for the upcoming months.
So stay tuned…
Blessings………….Mark
