More About cletiscarr
Singer-songwriter Cletis Carr knows a good yarn. Especially when paired with a good melody and some gritty slide guitar.
A careful student of the human condition, Carr's story-songs play out like mini-movies. Tales of joy, heartbreak, redemption, ordinary madness and everyday heroes are draped in a rich tapestry of acoustic steel-string guitar, dobro and lap slide.
Raised in America to a family of professional country musicians, Carr first tasted success with his early 80's new wave band Sneakers, which launched a solo career that's taken him all over the planet and has seen the release of seven solo albums and numerous band projects.
After spending most of the last decade running several music venues, Carr has returned to his recording career with Stones, his seventh solo release. Footsteps, a retrospective collection from his earlier recordings is now available on CD and iTunes.

Fun Stuff about the Artist
Embarrassing Moment
The time I accidentally bumped into Dolly Parton, stepping out of an elevator in a Los Angeles record company building in the 80's. On the way up a minute later, I realised that I'd done what every male (and many females) in the Western world wished they could - I felt Dolly's boobs. For a brief second, but I felt them.
My Instrument
I'm a guitaraholic. I have far more than I'll ever use, and when moving house recently, discovered one that I'd forgotten I owned. I was a Washburn endorsee in the 90's, now I prefer Taylors. My resonators are usually open c, d or g, and there's a bunch of odds n' enz around, mandolins, ukes, lap slides etc.
