carty mcmullan
What's happenin I'm Carty McMullan! I sing and play keys and I'm gonna give YOU the blues! And the oldies and Motown, too! I play the blues with King Edward and he said I'm the funkiest white man he ever worked with. That's good enough for ME.
I also get the carty party thang happenin' every other Tuesday at Shuckers, with Grit, Grind, and Groove- Sparky Trollinger, Jeff Reynolds and myself. It took alotta money but I got Jeff to play that chitlin circuit guitar you hear on my songs.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
50 years of toil, sweat and perseverance.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
King Edward wouldn't stand for no dead people on HIS stage. But try to keep up with HIM til 4 AM (like we used to do at the Subway Lounge) and you might be close to it!
Your musical influences
Ray Charles, Jimmy Smith, BJ Thomas, Tom Jones and Charlie Rich.
What equipment do you use?
Yamaha, Korg, Alesis, and some Peavey thrown in the mix for amplification.
Anything else?
I write my own songs too.
