After playing lead guitar in cover bands, for more years than I care to admit, I wanted to go on my own to dicover my own voice in music. That discovery has lead to "Wolfgang Carter". I write, produce and record all my own songs and perform all instruments including guitars, bass, drums and vocals. I am currently working on my first solo CD release entitled "Naked".
I would describe my music as an updated take on the classic/blues rock sound. I like to think of my music as something familiar but new all at the same time. I am not trying to change the musical landscape, just adding my style and sound to rock music genre.

Why this name?
Wolfgang is my real middle name and I chose Carter because it is a lot easier to pronounce, spell and search for than my real last name.
Do you play live?
Currently not playing live. Instead I am concentrating all my efforts on recording my first CD.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
MP3 technology and the internet have ben great for new artists to get there music out there to be heard and has given them more creative control over their career. Same could be said for "big name" acts if they realized they don't need a record company any more.
The bad part is piracy. With the costs of recording, videos and touring every music artist in a sense has to pay to create, write, record and perform their own music. Internet piracy only makes it that much harder for the artist to make an honest living.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
At this time I would but I imagine sooner than later their will no longer be any major lables. CD distribution would be the only reason to sign.
Band History:
None at the moment but stay tuned for whats to come.
Your influences?
All music and life influences me. Stevie Wonder and James Brown for the funk. AC/DC for the rock and The Rolling Stones for the roll. Johnny Cash and Mick Jagger for the words. Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Stevie Ray Vaughn for the guitar solo.
I still love the blues and the sound of a heavy guitar with a good groove. I also like Depeche Mode, Lenny Kravitz, Aerosmith, The Who, The Replacements and Prince.

Favorite spot?
First Ave in Minneapolis, MN
Equipment used:
My main electric guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Studio with Dean Markley Blue Steel strings. My second electric is an Arbor telecaster copy that has been customized and I use Daddario strings on that one. I also record with two different acoustic/electrics and one 12 sring acoustic guitar.
