Closer to Carter is one of Atlanta's newest up and coming pop groups, with music influenced by Maroon 5, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Coldplay, and many others.
Why this name?
Rumor has it that fans thought that the lead singer, Nick Strotz, looked similar to Nick Carter. On top of that, Jacob Sappenfield has a small obsession with Carter Beauford. So, Closer to Carter was named.
Do you play live?
Live shows are frequent. Closer to Carter just recently performed on the Miller Lite stage at Music Midtown, and has also opened for Chris Pierson, AJ Croce, and members of Styx and Boston. In addition to their national acts, CTC frequently performs around Buckhead and other parts of Atlanta.
Band History:
Closer to Carter was originally formed in Memphis, TN around 2000, and gathered a large fan base there before recently moving down to Atlanta, where they aquired Jason Matthews (bass).
Your influences?
Switchfoot, Maroon 5, Mraz/Mayer, Coldplay, Dave Matthews, etc.
